Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: 1. GENERAL The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) presents the activity of all applicable federal award programs of Mercedes ISD (the District). The District’s reporting entity is defined in Note I of the financial statements. Federal awards received directly from federal agencies, as well as federal awards passed through other government agencies, are included on the Schedule. In accordance with TEA instructions, federal funds for the School Health and Related Services (SHARS) have been excluded from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Federal program revenues for J.R.O.T.C, the Child Nutrition Cluster, SHARS, Medicaid Administrative Claims (MAC), Commodity Supplemental Food Program, P-EBT Local Admin Costs, and National School Lunch Program Equipment are reported in the General Fund. All other federal programs are accounted for and reported in Special Revenue Funds. 2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND PRESENTATION The Schedule is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting. The District’s significant accounting policies, including the modified accrual basis of accounting, are presented in Note 1 of the basic financial statements. The 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). Therefore, some of the amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The District has received a negotiated indirect cost rate from TEA and may not elect to use a de minimis cost rate of 10% as described at 2 CFR §200.414(f)—Indirect (F&A) costs.

Finding Details

Criteria: Under the Uniform Guidance, nonfederal entities shall include in their construction contracts subject to the Wage Rate Requirements (which still may be referenced as the Davis-Bacon Act) a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations (29 CFR Part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contacts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction). This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls) (29 CFR sections 5.5 and 5.6; the A-102 Common Rule (section 36(i)(5)); OMB Circular A-110 (2 CFR Part 215, Appendix A, Contract Provisions); 2 CFR Part 176, Subpart C; and 2 CFR section 200.326). Condition: During our review of the federal program, we determined that the District lacks internal controls and therefore, cannot detect whether the District develops a proper construction contract with vendors and whether the District receives the required documentation for Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements on a timely basis. Cause: The District does not have sufficient detection and prevention procedures. Effect: Without proper internal controls, the District cannot prevent or detect instances of Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements noncompliance. Lack of internal controls may result in questioned costs and noncompliance with the terms of the grant. Questioned Costs: $0 Recommendation: We recommend the District adhere to the Uniform Guidance and establish internal controls to ensure the District obtains the required documentation for the Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements on a timely basis. Management’s views: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan on page 94.
