Management's Response
The grant requires semi-annual and annual reporting expenditures incurred for awards.
Semi-annual SF-425 report for grant award 04CH011788-04-00 were due March 1, 2024
and October 31, 2024. The annual SF-425 report was due October 31, 2024.
Management agrees with our recommendation and finding. The delinquent reports have
been prepared and submitted as of audit issuance. In addition, the role of Assistant
Executive Director has changed as of date of this report. As such, a different individual
will be monitoring and tracking the reporting requirements.
The Center failed to submit timely semi-annual and annual reports for the grant periods
ending January 31, 2024, and July 31, 2024. The semi-annual report for the period
ending January 31, 2024 which was due March 1, 2024, was submitted in October 2024.
The semi-annual and annual reports for the periods ending July 31, 2024, were
submitted in February 2025.
Reporting deadlines are not being appropriately tracked and monitored.
We recommend management review current controls over reporting to ensure timeliness
of report submissions.
The Center was required to file the reports late to rectify the matter
