Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of presentation Accounting Policies: 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization did not make an election to use the ten percent de minimis cost rate as allowed for in the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Williamson County Crisis Center (the Organization) for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 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, is is not intended to and does not present the financial position, change in net position, or cash flows of the Organization.

Finding Details

Needy Families (TANF) to Title XX/Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) funds from the Texas Department of Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). The Organization is required to complete the most current HHSC Family Violence Program (FVP) TANF/SSBG form produced by HHSC FVP for each family served during the State’s fiscal year (September through August). The Organization should complete the form one-time each fiscal year for every adult resident/nonresident/participant (including an emancipated/qualified minor) that they serve under this program. Condition: During our audit procedures, we noted that the Organization had misplaced one client’s TANF/SSBG form and did not have a current year TANF/SSBG form for two other clients. Context: We tested a total of 25 expenditures for activities related to client direct services only and noted 3 instances of misplaced or outdated TANF/SSBG forms for three different clients. Cause: Management had not yet conducted sufficient staff education or put control processes in place to ensure that the TANF/SSBC forms are on hand and updated annually for each of their clients under this program. Effect or Potential Effect: The $9,319 of expenditures incurred on behalf of these three clients could be considered invalid and result in the Organization having a reduction in funding or a penalty could be imposed. Recommendation: We recommend that Management of the Organization ensure the development of standard processes and training to be placed in service to ensure that the Organization has a completed TANF/SSBG form prepared annually for all its clients receiving TANF/SSBC funds.
