WESTERN WISCONSIN WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT BOARD, INC.

Western Wisconsin Workforce Development Board, Inc. did not submit the data collection form and reporting package to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. This delay occurred due to staffing transitions and limited fiscal capacity during the audit period, which resulted in challenges completing financial reporting and coordinating the final submission. To address the issue, WWWDB has hired a dedicated accountant and established clearer internal roles for managing the annual audit and Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission process. The organization has also created an internal audit calendar that outlines all required federal deadlines, including the due date for the data collection form and reporting package. Going forward, WWWDB will implement a formal checklist to ensure all components of the Single Audit are completed, reviewed, and submitted on time. WWWDB is also strengthening communication and coordination with its external auditors to ensure that all required documents are prepared in alignment with federal deadlines. Staff involved in the audit process will receive additional training on the Federal Audit Clearinghouse submission requirements. The Interim Executive Director and the Accountant will be responsible for monitoring compliance with all federal reporting deadlines. WWWDB anticipates full implementation of these corrective actions prior to the next reporting cycle to prevent recurrence of this issue.
