Finding Text

Condition: The required reporting package for the year ended December 31, 2021, was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) in a timely manner. Criteria: Uniform Guidance requires the reporting package including the audit and data collection form must be submitted to the FAC within the earlier of nine months after the audit period or thirty calendar days after receipt of the auditor’s report. Cause: Staffing resources and delays in CSG’s 2020 and 2021 audits did not allow for adequate time to properly prepare for the audit causing delays in the process. Effect: Submission of reporting package after required deadline. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: CSG should ensure appropriate staff have adequate time to prepare for the audit and work with the audit firm to make sure the reporting package is submitted by the due dates on a go forward basis.
