Finding Text

Reporting - Noncompliance Information on Federal Program: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Award Listing Number 93.498 Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512(a), audits of an entity's schedule of expenditures of federal awards must be completed, and the reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, adjusted for any extensions permitted by the Office of Management and Budget. Condition: The reporting package for the year ended June 30, 2022, was not filed by the deadline of March 31, 2023, to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Questioned Costs: None noted. Cause: Although the Schedule and notes thereto were prepared accurately and timely, the current phase of the federal award and evolvement of compliance guidance caused the Organization to untimely submit the reporting package to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
