Observations
Based on a review of the fiscal audit for July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008, the project failed to complete the fiscal audit, as stated in the policy and procedure manual, by the end of the project's fiscal year.



The findings include:



A review of the annual audit was conducted on December 14, 2009. The project's audit for July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 was due to be completed no later than December 30, 2008. The project's audit was not completed until May 1, 2009.



Compliance is unable to be determined at this time as the current fiscal year is not complete until June 30, 2010. The facility should re-submit the original plan of correction.
