Finding Text
Finding # 2023-002 - Significant Deficiency - Reporting Criteria: Pursuant to 2 CFR 200.512(a) of the Uniform Guidance, the auditee is responsible for submitting its data collection form and reporting package, including the auditors' reports, within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditors' reports or nine months after the end of the audit period to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC). Condition, Context, Cause and Effect: The Uniform Guidance audit of the Corporation's federal awards for the year ended June 30, 2023, was not completed within the due date following the period-end, and as a result, the Corporation did not submit its Uniform Guidance audit reporting package within the required timeframe. As such, the Corporation did not comply with the aforementioned regulatory requirement. The delay in the issuance of the single audit report for the year ended June 30, 2023 was due to staff turnover and vacancies in the Corporation's finance department. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs identified. Recurring Finding: This finding is a recurring item. Recommendation: We recommend that the Corporation enhance their closing and reporting process to ensure that the Uniform Guidance audit procedures are timely completed in order to meet the aforementioned regulatory reporting deadlines. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Plan: Management refers the reader to the separately provided Corrective Action Plan for its remediation.
