Finding Text
Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to ensure that the EOC electronically submits audited financial information to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (the “Clearinghouse”).
Condition: EOC did not electronically submit to the Clearinghouse its fiscal 2024 audited financial information within 9 months after its fiscal year end.
Cause: EOC had delays in internal reporting. As a result, submissions of audited financial information could not be done because of the timing of the audit.
Effect: Noncompliance could result in EOC being denied future federal programs.
Questioned Costs: None reported.
Recommendation: EOC should implement procedures to ensure the audited financial statements are electronically submitted to the Clearinghouse on a timely basis going forward.
Views of Responsible Officials of Auditee: EOC agrees with the finding and will ensure that all submissions will be filed timely.
