Finding Text

2024-001 ( 2023-002) LATE FILING OF THE SINGLE AUDIT REPORTING PACKAGE WITH THE FEDERAL AUDIT CLEARINGHOUSE - REPEATED Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Labor Federal Program and Assistance Listing Number: WIOA Cluster 17.265 Native American Employment and Training Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency, Non-compliance Compliance Area: Reporting Award Period: FY24 Questioned Cost: None Condition: NIYC did not submit their Single Audit reporting package (financial statements, data collection form,and corrective action plan) within the required time period. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512 stipulates the requirement that the Single Audit reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period. Effect: Late reporting could cause additional oversight or restriction by the U.S. Department of Labor. Cause: Due to turnover, internal controls were not properly designed, executed, and monitored to ensure a timely preparation of reports and records for audit purposes. As a result, management did not comply with the submission requirements of 2 CFR 200.512.

Corrective Action Plan

Recommendation We recommend that management enhance its internal control structure, including financial close and reporting, to ensure timely filing of future Single Audit reporting packages. Management Response Corrective Action: NIYC has been working towards getting caught up on the timely audit completion requirement as per the 2CFR 200.512, including the retention of a larger audit firm to schedule and complete the audit in a more timely manner. We have also implemented a monthly and year-end closing process to facilitate filing of future Single Audit reporting packages. Due Date of Completion:March 31, 2026 Responsible Person(s): NIYC Management
