Finding Text
Criteria: In accordance with the award agreements for Federal awards under AL #93.591, Form SF-425 is required to be remitted to the awarding agency by December 31st (90 days after the federal fiscal year-end).
Condition: For three of the four awards subject to audit, Form SF-425 was not filed in a timely manner.
Cause: At the time of filing, responsibility for filing the required form fell on one team member, with no secondary oversight.
Effect: No negative effects resulted from the late filing, however, continued noncompliance with filing requirements may result in cancellation of the related award. There were no questioned costs due to this finding.
Recommendation: The organization should include a review function in the reporting process to increase oversight over the report filing.
Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Georgia Coalition Against Domestic Violence, Inc. agrees with the finding and recommended procedures have been implemented.
