CONDITION: Entity’s data collection form and audit reporting package for the six-month reporting fiscal period ended December 31, 2020, were not submitted in a timely manner to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse.

CAUSE: It appears the organization experienced extended disruptions in its fiscal department due to the Covid-19 pandemic and other health challenges, resulting in the late completion of financial records and readiness for audit activities. EFFECT: Non-compliance with a compliance requirement of the Uniform Guidance that is considered relevant for timely review of the organization’s performance of the federal program. RECOMMENDATION: Establish processes and controls, including planning in advance for skilled personnel or alternative actions, bearing in mind audit reporting and compliance deadlines, in order to enhance the overall operational efficiency in the accounting and financial reporting functions as well as ensure compliance with the financial and audit report submission due dates.

VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS AND PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTIONS: The management and board of directors of Houston Business Development, Inc. (HBDi) acknowledge the importance of timely submission of the Single Audit reporting package. As HBDi has a small accounting staff, regrettably, circumstances beyond our control involving prolonged absences and illness of essential personnel, coupled with the stifling economic impact of Covid-19, contributed to the submission delay. To assure compliance going forward, we have engaged the support of an outside CPA firm to assist us through a transitional period currently underway, which includes upgrading software systems, updating accounting policies/procedures and expanding accounting department personnel. HBDi President, Marlon Mitchell, will be responsible for implementing the aforementioned actions, with an anticipated completion date of August 31, 2024.
