Management Response: We understand and agree that the audit is being completed and submitted later the requirement of ?within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless a different period is specified in a program-specific audit guide.? Corrective Action Plan: Because of the challenges with our prior audit engagement for 2020-2021 and the extended time to complete that audit, we could not engage in the audit for 2021-2022 until April of 2023. The 2020-2021 audit was submitted in February of 2022, and that is when we reached out to the current auditor for an engagement to begin this audit. This has caused a snowball effect that may also delay our ability to complete and submit the next audit (2022-2023) in a timely fashion as well. While we are working diligently to keep this from being the case, there are significant challenges in securing and engaging reasonably-priced auditors that understand the complexities of the type of funding we have (multiple Revolving Loan Funds & two CARES Act Grants).
