Finding Text

Condition The single audit report was required to be completed and filed by the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the period under audit; however, the single audit reports were not filed timely. Criteria Per 2 CFR 910.512(a)(1), the audit must be completed, and the reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause Bebashi experienced unforeseen turnover during the audit process, and it was not able to be completed within the condition above. Effect or Potential Effect Absence of reporting could result in lack of up-to-date information provided to federal agencies and potential impacts on grant funding and Bebashi’s operations. Recommendation We recommend that Bebashi establishes procedures and controls to ensure all required single audit reports are filed and filed timely. Views of Responsible Officials Bebashi acknowledges the single audit report was not filed with the federal awarding agency within the condition. However, Bebashi made additional employment changes to assist in the timing and process of the audit procedures. Going forward, Bebashi will ensure timely filing to the federal clearinghouse will be completed moving forward.

Corrective Action Plan

Regarding the late filing of the single audit report with the federal awarding agency, the books were closed in a timelier manner, and the audit fieldwork has started in order for the audit to be done for the year ended June 30, 2024. We have established procedures and controls to ensure all required reports are filed timely.
