Finding Text

#2022-002 ? Reporting Requirements Criteria: Contract recipients must submit financial and performance reports as detailed in the individual contracts. Due dates for performance reports are typically fifteen days after the end of the quarter, with quarterly financial reports due thirty days after the end of the quarter. Agreement close-out reports are due sixty days after the close of the program period. Condition: We noted two instances in which the submitted quarterly performance reports were considered to be incomplete, one of which was also filed late, three instances in which there was no evidence that the quarterly performance reports had been completed, and one instance in which the completed quarterly performance report had no indication of when the report was actually submitted. Questioned Costs: None Context: The Quarterly Performance Measures Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, due to be filed by October 15, 2021, was submitted on November 12, 2021, and was considered to be incomplete. In addition, the Peer Run Recovery Centers Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 was considered to be incomplete. Three reports could not be located to substantiate they had been completed and filed on time. Lastly, one report was examined, but had no indication that it had been timely submitted. Effect: None Cause: Staff turnover and management oversight. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We encourage the Organization to continue its efforts to ensure that all contract reports are completed and submitted timely.
