The formulas
- Due = earlier of (date the auditee receives the auditor's report + 30 calendar days) and (end of the audit period + 9 months)
- A due date on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday moves to the next business day
- A month-end year-end is carried to the month-end nine months later
How it works
Under 2 CFR 200.512(a) the audit, the data collection form and the reporting package must be submitted to the FAC within 30 calendar days after the auditee receives the auditor's report or nine months after the end of the audit period, whichever is earlier. If the due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the package is due the next business day.
Holidays are the legal public holidays in 5 U.S.C. 6103(a), with a Saturday holiday observed on the Friday before and a Sunday holiday on the Monday after. The cognizant or oversight agency for audit may authorize an extension where the nine-month timeframe would place an undue burden on the auditee; the tool does not apply an extension.

Common questions
If the report is issued early, does the nine-month date still apply?
No. The earlier date governs, so an early report brings the deadline forward to 30 days after receipt.
What is nine months after a June 30 year-end?
March 31 of the following year, moved to the next business day if it falls on a weekend or federal holiday.
