Finding Text
Department of Health and Human Services - Refugee and Entrant Assistance Wilson/Fish Program; Assistance Listing Number 93.583; Grant period - year ended September 30, 2022Condition: Out of four grant reports selected for testing of timely submission, we determined that one grant report was filed late.Criteria: Grant reports are to be submitted in accordance with deadlines outlined in the grant agreement.Cause: Based on the large influx of refugees in a short time period and additional funds being provided to the Organization on a retrospective basis, they were not able to file the grant report timely as these factors required additional work be done on their end to ensure the grant reports were filed accurately.Effect: Due to the fact that grants may not reimburse expenses incurred until grant reports are filed, this could result in a delay in cash receipts.Context: Grant reports are filed on a quarterly basis. A sample of four grants were selected to test that submissions were made timely in accordance with the grant agreement.Recommendation: We recommend that management ensure that grants are filed timely.Responsible Official?s Response: Management will ensure that grant reports are filed timely.
