Internal Control over Reporting related to Allowable Costs and Cost Principles. Home Investment Partnerships Program 14.239 United States Department of Housing and Urban Development Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs. In accordance with 10 TAC Section 1.403(e), if Subrecipient expends $750,000 or more in federal and/or state awards or have an outstanding loan balance associated with federal or state sources of $750,000 or more with continuing compliance requirements, or a combination thereof must have a Single Audit or Program-Specific Audit conducted. If the Subrecipient’s Single Audit is required by 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, the report must be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of its fiscal year. The Subrecipient is required to submit a notification to the Federal Agency within 5 business days of submission to the FAC. Along with the notice, indicate if the auditor issued a management letter and submit a copy of the letter to the Federal Agency. During my testing of internal controls, it was identified that the City did not comply with the timely submission of the report to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report or nine months after the end of the fiscal year end 2021. Not submitting the FAC in a timely manner could impact the timeliness of the agency’s review and monitoring of related grant activity, and/or could negatively impact future funding or create increased monitoring. The City did not have its prior year audit completed due to a loss of the previous auditor and not being able to find another until late in the year. The City’s 2021 auditor did not complete their audit in time for the audit to be submitted to the FAC.
