REPEAT OF 2024-002OTHER MATTERS

The Uniform Guidance audit for September 30, 2024 was completed and accepted by the Federal Audit Clearinghouse on January 14, 2026, which is more than nine months after the year-end, which was a due date of June 30, 2025. Cause of Condition: KRM provides resettlement, support, educational and legal services to refugees admitted to the United States through the State Department’s refugee admissions program. During the past few years, KRM experienced a significant increase in the number of refugees being served. The amount of refugees receiving services from KRM more than doubled, consistent with the increase in refugees entering the United States. This had a significant impact on the amount of financial assistance being passed through to KRM and the amount of time and resources necessary to process the refugees. Effect of Condition: The effect is that the compliance requirement to file timely with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse was not met. Recommendation: KRM should have future audits completed and filed timely with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Identification of Repeat Finding: The finding is a repeat of the finding noted in the audit for September 30, 2024 as finding 2024-002. Views of Responsible Officials: Management understands and accepts the recommendation as outlined in the Corrective Action Plan.
