Finding Text

Criteria: The audit must be completed, and the reporting submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless a different period is specified in a program-specific audit guide. Unless restricted by Federal law or regulation, the auditee must make report copies available for public inspection. Auditees and auditors must ensure that their respective parts of the reporting package do not include protected personally identifiable information. Condition: The federal reporting deadline was due March 31, 2023. However, Congregation Khal Chasidei Skwere DBA Tomer Dvora did not issue its reporting package until June 2023.

Corrective Action Plan

Planned Corrective Action Plan: The audit report was issued late due to the Covid-19 Pandemic that affected tri-state area within the United States of America - in particular New York State. Most of our staff were under direct orders from the Federal Government and local Municipal orders to remain at home and quarantine for months. As such, the entire school along with its office staff were unable to gather the documents and communicate with the auditor in a timely manner. Although we have committed to having the audit to be submitted on March 31, 2023, we had a bookkeeping shortage and could not submit it timely. However, we switched to a new accounting firm who is assisting us in meeting deadlines. The Management is confident that in the future, audit reports will be issued timely the same way they have been in the past. Currently, management is working on and expects to complete the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 audit to be submitted by March 31, 2024.
