New Process for Delinquent Audits Began October 1, 2025

HRSA is committed to ensuring transparency, accountability, and compliance across all federally funded programs. To strengthen oversight and promote timely reporting, HRSA has implemented a new Delinquent Audit Process in response to awardees who fail to submit Single Audit Reports.

Beginning October 1, 2025, HRSA will apply a 120-day condition to all HRSA awards for awardees who are delinquent on two or more Single Audit Reports. The 120-day condition will be applied 15 days following notification of delinquency. This process applies to HRSA awardees who have failed to submit required Single Audit Reports in a timely manner.

Timeline & Enforcement:

• Effective Date: Beginning October 1, 2025, impacted awardees will receive notifications
• 120-day Condition: Will be applied 15 days following notification of delinquency
• Scope: Applies to all HRSA awards held by the delinquent entity 

HRSA encourages all awardees to review their audit submission history in the Federal Audit Clearinghouse and take proactive steps to meet reporting requirements.
