The quarterly reports are due on the last day of the month following the end of the period completed. These dates are September 1, 2024, December 1, 2024, March 1, 2025, and June 1, 2025.

Condition – The Organization did not submit reports to the MDED at the required deadlines during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Cause – The individual responsible for reporting compliance was away on maternity leave, which caused delay in the timeliness of reporting.

Context – Out of a population of four reports, we selected two reports and noted one instance of noncompliance with the timely reporting requirement of the CSLFRF. Identification as a Repeat Finding – Not a repeat finding. Recommendation – We recommend management review this area and establish procedures to ensure required reports are completed timely. View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Actions – Management has established guidelines for an individual responsible for submitting reports in a timely manner for scenarios arising in which the individual responsible for submitting reports is not available to submit reports timely.

Contact Person: Cheryl Adler View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management is implementing the following corrective actions to address the finding: 1. Kick-Off Meetings: For all new funding agreements, management will hold a kick-off meeting with key management and program personnel to review the grant agreement and organizational obligations, including reporting requirements. 2. Designation of Backup Personnel: A secondary individual will be assigned as backup for reporting responsibilities to ensure continuity when the primary individual is unavailable. 3. Reporting Calendar and Alerts: A shared reporting calendar with automated reminders has been established to notify responsible staff of upcoming deadlines at least two weeks in advance. 4. Cross-Training: Key program and finance team members will be cross-trained on the reporting process to ensure familiarity and readiness to step in if needed.
