AI Summary

  • Audit Delay: The fiscal year 2022 audit was completed over a year late due to staff turnover and issues with a new accounting system.

  • Action Needed: The Committee must update accounting records and submit overdue filings promptly, while ensuring future submissions are timely.

Finding Text

The Committee’s fiscal year 2022 audit was not completed until November 2023. Due to turnover within the Committee’s accounting department, as well as difficulties encountered during the Committee’s transition to a new accounting system, certain accounting procedures were not performed in a timely manner. Completion of audit fieldwork was delayed by over a year as sufficient accounting records were unavailable to audit. Additionally, we noted that certain standard control procedures such as reconciliation of bank accounts and reviews of internal financial reports were not able to be performed until fiscal year 2022, as a result of the accounting system records being incomplete. Due to the level of federal funding received, the Committee is required to have a single audit. The deadline to submit the single audit to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse is the earlier of 1) 30 calendar days after receipt of the audit report or 2) nine months after the end of the audit period. As of the date of our audit report, the Committee has not completed the Federal Audit Clearinghouse submissions for fiscal year 2022. We recommend that the Committee continue to bring accounting records up-to-date and submit the late filings as soon as possible after receiving the final audit report. Additionally, we recommend that the Committee begin to file their reporting submissions in a timely manner.
