Finding Text

Item 2022-01 ? Late Submissions for Reporting Requirements and Fiscal Year Reporting Audit findings under 2 CFR section 200.516(a). Criteria: In accordance with terms of the federal award granted for the major program, Faith Community United Credit Union, Inc. (?the Credit Union?) must submit the annual report components in accordance with the Credit Union?s fiscal year. Condition: During our procedures performed over compliance with reporting requirements (as stipulated under Schedule 1, Section A of the CDFI Fund Assistance Agreement for the major program), we noted that the Credit Union?s annual report components were based on a fiscal year ending December 31, 2021. Inquiry with management and inspection of the prior period audit reports identified that the Credit Union?s fiscal year is September 30. As a result, the report due dates for the annual report components were improperly identified. This resulted in the annual report components that were submitted late to document the incorrect fiscal year end date. This also resulted in the submissions for the Financial Statements, TLR, Performance Progress Report, and Uses of Award Report for fiscal year 2021 to incorrectly include information for October through December 2021. This financial information should have been included in the fiscal year 2022 reporting. Cause: The Credit Union did not maintain adequate internal controls to ensure the Credit Union?s fiscal year end was appropriately reported, and by extension, that the annual report submissions were completed within the correct due dates for the proper reporting timeframe. Recommendation: We recommend that management properly reflect the annual reporting components using its September 30 fiscal year end. We also recommend that management contact their CDFI representative to identify what correcting steps be completed, if any, for the year ended September 30, 2021 reporting components.
