#2024-003: Grant Program: All Programs Included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards – Assistance Listing # – Various
Condition: The Organization did not submit the Data Collection Form (DCF) and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) within the required timeframe for both fiscal years ended February 29, 2024, and February 28, 2023.
Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.512(b), the Organization must submit the completed DCF and the reporting package to FAC within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the Auditors’ report(s), or nine months after the end of the audit period.
Context: The DCF for the year ended February 28, 2023 was not timely filed during the year ended
February 29, 2024. At the time of completion of the audit for the year ended February 29, 2024, the deadline for submission of November 28, 2024, was passed and the DCF is considered not timely filed.
Cause: The late submission was due to delays in finalizing the audits.
Effect: Failure to submit the DCF timely may delay Federal Agencies’ access to audit results and could impact the Organization’s eligibility for future funding. Additionally, an untimely filed DCF results in high risk auditee status.
Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement procedures to ensure timely submission of the DCF and reporting packing, including establishing internal deadlines ahead of the federal due date for audit completion.
Management Response: See Corrective Action Plan.
