Finding Text

Condition: The Village met the requirements for a Single Audit and is required to submit its annual audited financial statements and single audit reporting requirements within 9 months of the Village's fiscal year end. The Village did not complete and submit its single audit by February 28, 2025. Criteria: The requirement in 2 CFR 200.512(a)(1) states that single audits are due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of the auditor’s report or 9 months from the Village's fiscal year end. This reporting package, is required to be submitted electronically and includes the financial statements and a supplementary schedule of expenditures of federal awards, auditor’s reports, a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a corrective action plan, if necessary. The delay in the timely submission of the audited financial statements and single audit reporting requirements was primarily due to a combination of factors impacting the ability to complete the necessary procedures within the required timeframe.

Corrective Action Plan

The Village is expected to have its May 31, 2025 audit and required submissions completed on time, by February 28, 2026. The Village now has a recurring independent audit firm to perform the audits in the future.
