Week of April 15, 2024
March peak season
The FAC received 5,403 single audit submissions between March 25 and April 1. During this time, our helpdesk resolved more than 400 tickets, most via one-touch and in less than 24 hours.
As the rate of submissions tapers off, the team is returning its focus to feature delivery and site maintenance.
Tribal API
Tribal audits are now available to authorized users via the API. Documentation on this process has been shared with interested agencies. If you would like to learn more about access to the API, please contact the FAC helpdesk.
Advanced search
At the end of March, we experienced a performance outage for the FAC search. To resolve this, the team created an advanced search option to better serve audit resolution officials. A more basic search option is also still available for quicker confirmation of submitted reports.
During the outage, we uploaded daily findings workbooks to support resolution work. This page will remain available until May.
What's next?
Resubmission
The team is beginning the work on single audit resubmission. We're in the early stages of user interviews to determine the feature requirements. We're also talking with our agency partners about the resubmission process and how its triggered.
May code freeze
The FAC will undergo a code freeze from 5/17 - 5/31 to allow for security penetration testing. This testing is a required part of our authority to operate. During this time, we won't be making any updates to the FAC.
