Finding 571393 (2022-003)

Program Name: Community Facilities Loans and Grants Cluster Federal Assistance Listing Number: 10.766 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Type of Finding: Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency Compliance Requirement: Reporting Questioned Costs: None Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200.512 requires that, for non-federal entities, “The audit must be completed, and the data collection form described in paragraph (b) of this section and reporting package described in paragraph (c) of this section 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.” Condition: The federal reporting deadline for the Single Audit reporting package was September 30, 2022; however, Lake Health District did not submit its Single Audit Reporting Package by that date. Cause: Lake Health District was unable to complete the single audit by the deadline due to the documentation not being reconciled and ready for the audit. This resulted in the late submission of the Single Audit reporting package. Effect: Without accurate and timely reporting, the funding agencies are unable to properly oversee the expenditure of Federal awards. Recommendation: We recommend that management implement processes and procedures to identify the required deadlines and related controls to ensure compliance with the deadlines. View of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding above. Management will review the existing accounting policies and procedures and implement additional controls to validate timely submission of reports.
