Finding Text
2022-001 Criteria: 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that the reporting package (the single audit report) and the data collection form be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition: Outreach Community Ministries, Inc.?s June 30, 2021 reporting package and data collection form was due no later than September 30, 2022, which is fifteen months after the year end (extended from the original nine month deadline based on OMB memorandum M-20-26). The reporting package was filed in January 2023. Cause: There were delays in completing the audit for year end June 30, 2021 that caused the delay in the auditee certifying and submitting the reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Effect: This delay in reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and to pass-through entities will cause a delay in closing out grants and reporting results of the grants to various organizations. Auditor recommendation: We recommend that Outreach Community Ministries, Inc. begin preparation for the annual audit in a timely manner and that upon receiving the final reporting package, they complete all requirements with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Management response: New protocols and standards have been instituted at Outreach, which will result in higher performance and timely preparation. The organization is taking action to prepare for the audit and will complete all required reporting by the applicable due dates going forward.
