Finding Text
Statement of Condition: The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2021 was not filed by the deadline of September 30, 2022 to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.512(a), 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 auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period, adjusted for any extensions permitted by the Office of Management and Budget. Effect of Condition: The reporting package and data collection form for the year ended December 31, 2021, was not accessible to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse in a timely manner. Cause of Condition: Due to turnover in finance department personnel, including Chief Financial Officer, and the delays in recreating the support for the Provider Relief Reporting in Periods 1 and 2, combined with resource issues, the reporting package and data collection form filing was not submitted within the deadline. Recommendation: We recommend the Nursing Home adopt policies and procedures, including tracking and monitoring of reporting requirements, to ensure that the audit, reporting package, and data collection form are electronically filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the applicable deadline. Views of Responsible Official: We agree with the recommendation. See corrective action plan.
