Finding 32205 (2022-002)

2022-002 Youth Homelessness Demonstration Program, CFDA #14.276 Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that the reporting package (the single audit report) and the data collection form be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received or nine months (fifteen months with a COVID extension) after the end of the audit period. Condition: Northwest Compass, Inc.?s June 30, 2021 reporting package and data collection was due no later than June 11, 2022, which is 30 calendar days after the reports were received. The reporting package was filed in September 2022. Cause: The Organization had a significant increase in funding during fiscal year 2021 that resulted in a single audit being performed for the first time in a number of years. There were delays in the auditee certifying and submitting the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: This delay in reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and to pass-through entities will cause a delay in closing out grants and reporting results of the grants to various organizations. Auditor recommendation: We recommend that upon receiving the final reporting package, the Organization completes all requirements with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Management response: We have adopted this policy for fiscal year 2022 and moving forward.
