Rural Development Unnumbered Letter re: Financial Reporting Requirements for FY 2018


 

Rural Development has issued an Unnumbered Letter dated February 7, 2019. The unnumbered letter is issued to provide guidance for borrowers electing to submit their Fiscal Year 2018 annual financial reports according to the requirements published in the Federal Register on November 24, 2017.

The new rule was in effective for borrowers with fiscal year beginning January 1, 2018 and thereafter. The reporting change will continue to be OPTIONAL for Fiscal Year 2018 reporting and will be MANDATORY for Fiscal Year 2019.

For profit and limited profit borrowers must state the method of reporting the year end actuals. There are two options for reporting for FY 18. Option 1 will be based on the type of property and number of units. Option 2 is based on the borrower ID and amount of federal financial assistance received by the borrower.

Through this rule change, the Agency has removed the requirement for an engagement that examines records using Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) established by the Agency as part of the annual financial reporting requirements outlined in 7 CFR Part 3560.308. The Agency will allow borrowers to not submit AUPs for the Fiscal Year 2018 reporting cycle by submitting a statement similar to the following with the yearend reports.

The Unnumbered Letter includes sample auditor reports and audited financial statements.
