Notes to SEFA

Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: See Notes De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal award activity of CLARE|MATRIX (the “Organization”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (“Uniform Guidance”). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.
Title: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: See Notes De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years.
Title: RELATIONSHIP TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Accounting Policies: See Notes De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. Federal award expenditures are reported on the statement of functional expenses as program services and management and general. In certain programs, the expenditures reported in the basic financial statements may differ from the expenditures reported in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards due to program expenditures exceeding grant or contract budget limitations which are not included as federal awards and differences between generally accepted accounting principles and applicable government regulations regarding eligible program expenditures.
Title: INDIRECT COST RATE Accounting Policies: See Notes De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The Organization has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in section 200.414 in Uniform Guidance.

Finding Details

Finding 2022-001 – Timely and Accurate Books and Records Maintenance Finding Type: Material Weakness Criteria: Government Auditing Standards require that the financial statements be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These principles require that financial statements be prepared on the accrual basis of accounting which is US GAAP compliant because revenues and expenses are recorded and recognized in the period in which they occur. Condition and Context: We noted the Organization was unable to provide timely and accurate financial statements for the period under audit and did not perform effective and ongoing reviews of its financial records to ensure they were in accordance with US GAAP. This resulted in the need to record adjusting journal entries. Cause: The Organization did not perform accurate reviews of such accounts at year end and did not perform a review of the financial statements to ensure they were in accordance with US GAAP. Effect and Potential Effect: This precludes the Organization from preparing financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and disclosure in compliance with professional standards. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend the Organization hire an accounting manager-level employee with substantial knowledge of US GAAP and federal grant accounting, including required disclosures, to enable internal preparation of financial statements in accordance with the prescribed standards.

Finding 2022-002 – Timely Submission of Federal Audit Clearinghouse Data Collection Form Finding Type: Other Matter Criteria: Uniform Guidance requires that a single audit must be submitted by the Organization to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after receiving the single report or nine months after the end of the Organization’s fiscal year. Condition: The Organization did not submit its single audit report within the timeframe required by Uniform Guidance. Cause: The Organization was not able to complete the single audit and related submission due to delays in the audit process. Effect and Potential Effect: The failure to submit single audits within the time frame prescribed by Uniform Guidance causes the Organization to be considered a high-risk auditee. Questioned Costs: None Repeat Finding: Yes Recommendation: We recommend the Organization develop internal controls and procedures to identify relevant Uniform Guidance due dates and to ensure records are kept in a manner to facilitate timely single audit submissions.
