Finding Text
Criteria: The Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance), required auditees to submit the audit report with Covid-19 extensions by March 31, 2023 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Condition: The Organization did not submit the audit report by March 31, 2023 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: Because of Covid-19, it caused the audit and submission to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse to not be completed and submitted in a timely matter. Cause: Covid-19 caused a shortage of staff and the additional Cares funding created more work that the Organization could not keep up in getting the audit completed. Recommendation: The Organization should implement processes to ensure that the annual audits are completed timely.
