AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Organization's audit report submission was rejected due to using the wrong portal intended for commercial entities.
  • Impacted Requirements: The report must meet the Uniform Guidance standards for nonfederal entities, necessitating revisions in both form and content.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Revise the audit report and resubmit it through the correct channel to ensure compliance with reporting requirements.

Finding Text

The Organization originally submitted its audit report dated September 19, 2022 on the Schedule of Income from U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Awards for the HHS Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan Rural Distribution for the periods of availability which ended during the year ended December 31, 2021 to PRFaudits@hrsa.gov. In March 2024, the Organization was informed that the submission was rejected as the reporting portal at PRFaudits@hrsa.gov was appropriate for commercial entities only. Upon consultation with the auditors, it was determined that the form and content of the original audit report and the manner of submission needed to be revised to comply with the reporting requirements pursuant to the Uniform Guidance for nonfederal entities.

Corrective Action Plan

We contacted our auditors upon receipt of the notice of rejection. The audit engagement was then revised to include the additional components needed under the Uniform Guidance for nonfederal entities, and the audit results will be reported as required to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. No further action should be needed.
