Finding No. 2022-001: Significant Deficiency: Criteria: The Center is required to file the Uniform Guidance Audit within nine months of the year end of the Organization. Statement of Condition: The Uniform Guidance Audit for September 30, 2021 was completed and accepted by the Federal Clearinghouse on March 31, 2023, which is more than nine months after the year end due date of June 30, 2022. Cause of Condition: Due to the late completion of the September 30, 2018 through September 30, 2021 audits, the management staff had fallen behind on the annual audit preparedness, which was compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and requirements to work remotely. Effect of Condition: The effect is that the compliance requirement to file timely with the Federal Clearinghouse was not met. Recommendation: The Center should have future audits completed timely and filed timely with the Federal Clearinghouse. Identification of Repeat Finding: The finding is a repeat of the finding noted in the audit for September 30, 2021 as finding 2021-001. Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands and accepts the recommendation as outlined in the Corrective Action Plan.
