Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported in 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. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. 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 (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of St. Vincent de Paul of Baltimore, Inc. and Subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the Organization) under programs for the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in 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). 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.

Finding Details

Condition: Income eligibility verification for six participants was dated in December 2022, which was subsequent to the participants? entry into the program. Criteria: Eligibility for the program requires participants to meet certain maximum income levels and to face possible eviction due to financial hardship resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. Cause: The Organization did not maintain policies and procedures to properly obtain, review, and maintain documentation of income or financial hardship for program participants. Effect: Ineligible participants could have been entered into the program and provided with rental assistance payments under the program. Context: Of 25 selected participants, our testing identified six participants whereby documentation of financial eligibility was dated subsequent to entry into the program. Questioned Cost: Not applicable. Recommendation: The Organization should establish procedures surrounding intake into the program, including, but not limited to, obtaining and reviewing appropriate income verification.
