Finding Text

Finding No. 2022-003 - Non-Compliance-Delay in Submission of the OMB Reporting Package. The Organization did not file the OMB reporting package within nine months of the fiscal year end as required per the Uniform Guidance.

We recommend the Organization complete all reports required under the Federal award document and submit reports in a timely manner. The Organization should improve financial close-our procedures and obtain the audit under the Uniform Guidance within nine months or the fiscal year end.
