Finding No. 2022-002: Annual Audit Submission ? Significant Deficiency Assistance Listing Program Title and Number: All Federal Agency: All Criteria: As per the Code of Federal Regulations, Section 200.512 - Report Submission, the audit must be completed and the data collection form and reporting package must be submitted within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditors? report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. The due date for the submission was March 31, 2023. Condition: The audit and reporting package were not submitted by the due date March 31, 2023. Cause: The Organization was not able to complete the financial statements and federal single audit by the extended due date. Effect: The audit and federal reporting package were not filed on time. Questioned Costs: None. Context: The financial statements and federal single audit were not able to be completed by the due date. Recommendation: We recommend that all necessary efforts be taken to ensure timely submission of the audit and financial reporting package. Management?s Response/View of Responsible Officials: We agree with the auditors? finding. However, as stated in Finding No. 2022-001, there were significant changes in staff at New Reach, as well as an auditor that was new to our organization; both of these factors contributed to the delay in filing the Single Audit package. We added a Grants/Contract Administrator position. Additionally, we continue to strengthen policies and procedures as stated in the Finding No. 2022-001 response. We are confident that the improvements to our close process will allow us to submit the Single Audit reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the required due date as was done previously.
