from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
2. Management is responsible for timely submission of audited financial statements to Federal
Audit Clearinghouse ("FAC").
Condition

in order for the financial statements to be fairly presented in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America.
2. Single Audit reports are required to be submitted to the FAC pursuant to the audit requirement
of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200. Submission of June 30, 2023 financial

Effect or Potential Effect

statements such that they are not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America. Condition 2 results in auditee being designated as not a low-risk

that financial data is properly recorded in the books and records of the project to prevent
misstatements from occurring in the future.
