Finding Text

Condition: The Organization did not submit the Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse prior to the September 30, 2024, deadline. Criteria: Based on requirements set forth by 2 CFR section 200.512(a), the Organization is required to submit the Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the earlier of thirty calendar days after receipt of the auditor's reports or nine months after the end of the audit period. Cause: The Organization’s audit was not completed and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse prior to the deadline for the year ended December 31, 2023. Effect: The Organization was not in compliance with the requirements of 2 CFR section 200.512(a) regarding the timely submission of the Single Audit Reporting Package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The effect will not allow the Organization to be considered a low risk auditee for their next two annual Single Audits. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend the Organization complete and submit all future annual Single Audits to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse prior to the required deadline to ensure all compliance requirements are met. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management stated they intend to complete and submit all future audits prior to the required deadline. Management stated the failure was due solely to delays by the auditor. The auditor disagrees with this assertion, based upon the audit timeline evidenced in the audit documentation.
