AI Summary

  • Core Issue: CMP submitted the reporting package late, missing the nine-month deadline after the audit period.

Finding Text

Finding 2024-001: Reporting Criteria: The Uniform Guidance states that the reporting package (which includes the audit reports) must be submitted no later than 30 days after the reports are received from the auditors but no later than nine months after the end of the audit period to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The Federal Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. If the reporting package is late, a recipient is disqualified from being a low-risk auditee. Statement of Condition: CMP submitted the data collection more than nine months after the year ended June 30, 2024. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: There was a high turnover in Fiscal Department Staffing following the end of the 2024 fiscal year. Effect: CMP was not able to adhere to the submission requirements in the Criteria section above. Recommendation: We recommend that CMP continue its process of identifying an appropriate candidate to bring the Organization back in line with filing requirements.

Corrective Action Plan

CMP will take the following actions to ensure timely submission in future years: • Submit the 2024 DCF within five ( 5) business days of receiving the final audit report. 30 • Coordinate earlier with the external audit firm to establish mutually agreed-upon deadlines for key audit deliverables. • Implement an internal calendar to track critical reporting dates and milestones, beginning with the FY2025 audit cycle. • Assign a dedicated staff member to monitor audit progress and communicate regularly with the audit team to avoid last-minute delays.
