Finding 567965 (2024-002)

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ALN(s): 93.600 Grant Number(s): 05CH01070805 and 05CH01237901 Criteria: Per the grant agreement various reports are required to be filed with specified due dates. One of these reports is the Federal Financial Report (SF-425). Condition: The Organization failed to submit two separate SF-425 reports on time. Cause: The due date of these reports was changed from July 30th to May 30th, and the Organization’s staff was not aware of the change. Effect: The Organization is not in compliance with the grant agreement. Perspective: The reports were due by May 30, 2024. The Organization’s staff prepared and filed the reports on June 27, 2024 thinking this was before the due date. However, when submitting the changed due date was realized. Recommendation: Procedures should be put in place to ensure required reports are filed on time and any reporting due date changes are received from the granting agencies. Management’s Response: Management concurs. See separate Corrective Action Plan.
