Criteria: The audit package and the data collection form shall be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse 30 days after receipt of the auditor's report(s) or 9 months after the end of the fiscal year, whichever comes first, in accordance with the regulation found in the Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a).
Condition Found: For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the Village did not submit the data collection form to the Federal Clearinghouse by the required due date of June 30, 2023, in accordance with the federal requirements. In addition, due to the late issuance of the 2023 fiscal year audit, the submission deadline for FY 2023 of June 30, 2024 has passed and as such, the Village did not meet the submission deadline.

Effect: The Village is not in compliance with federal requirements.
Questioned Costs/Basis: N/A
