AI Summary

  • Issue: The YR2 Federal Financial Report (FFR) was submitted late, one year after the due date.
  • Trend: This delay led to the HIPS Payment Management System account being placed on Restricted Status by the Grantor.
  • Follow-up: Ensure timely submission of future reports to avoid restrictions and maintain compliance.

Finding Text

The terms of the Notice of Grant Award state that the YR2 Federal Financial Report (FFR) is to be submitted by February 28, 2021. During our audit, we noted that HIPS Payment Management System account was placed on Restricted Status from the Grantor due to the Organization not filing the YR2 FFR by the due date of February 28, 2021. The actual submission date was February 23, 2022.

Corrective Action Plan

HIPS hired additional finance staff, including staff with experience in federal grantmaking, and reorganized the team member responsibilities to ensure all past due filings were completed by February 28, 2022.
