Pass-Through Entity: Utah State Governor?s Office of Planning and Budget. Compliance Requirements: Reporting. Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency and Immaterial Noncompliance. Criteria: Awards granted from Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds require the submission of an annual project and expenditure report, with the initial report due April 30, 2022, and subsequent reports due annually by April 30 each year during the period of performance. Condition: The City?s initial project and expenditure report, due April 30, 2022, has not yet been filed. Cause: Prior to the issuance of the final rule, which took effect on April 1, 2022, it was management?s understanding that the first initial report would not be due until April 30, 2023. Management was not aware that both the interim final rule and the final rule required initial submission of the project and expenditure report by April 30, 2022. Effect or Potential Effect: The failure to submit the required reporting to the US Treasury results in noncompliance with the reporting requirements of Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds.

We also recommend that the subsequent annual report be filed by April 30, 2023.
