Planned Corrective Action
The Buffalo Senior Center recognizes the importance of meeting federal audit submission deadlines. To address this issue and prevent recurrence, we have implemented the following corrective actions:
- Created an internal compliance calendar that includes all federal reporting and audit submission deadlines.
- Scheduled earlier year-end closeout and reconciliations, with internal deadlines two months prior to the federal deadline.
- Allocated additional staff time and resources during year-end to ensure timely preparation of financial and grant documentation.
- Established a formal review and submission process with our auditors to ensure all necessary docuemtnation is delievered at least 60 days prior to the submission deadline.
- Assigned direct oversight of audit coordination to the Executive Director, with monthly pregress check-ins from July through September.
These steps are designed to eliminate delays and ensure full compliance with the 9-month federal submission deadline going forward.
