Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: The SEFA is presented on a modified accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: KFCS follows the ODE Indirect Cost Certivication of 4.32% The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The information in the schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance; therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements.
Title: Indirect Cost Rate Accounting Policies: The SEFA is presented on a modified accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: KFCS follows the ODE Indirect Cost Certivication of 4.32% The District does not use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed by the Uniform Guidance.
Title: Federal Financial Assistance Accounting Policies: The SEFA is presented on a modified accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: KFCS follows the ODE Indirect Cost Certivication of 4.32% Pursuant to Uniform Guidance, federal financial assistance is defined as assistance provided by a federal agency, either directly or indirectly, in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, loans, loan guarantees, property, interest subsidies, insurance or direct appropriations. Accordingly, non-monetary federal assistance, including federal surplus property, is included in federal financial assistance and, therefore, is reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, if applicable. Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash assistance to individuals. Solicited contracts between the state and federal government for which the federal government procures tangible goods or services are not considered to be federal financial assistance.
Title: Major Programs Accounting Policies: The SEFA is presented on a modified accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: KFCS follows the ODE Indirect Cost Certivication of 4.32% Uniform Guidance establishes criteria to be used in defining major federal financial assistance programs. Major programs for the District are those programs selected for testing by the auditor using a risk-assessment model, as well as certain minimum expenditure requirements, as outlined in Uniform Guidance. Programs with similar requirements may be grouped into a cluster for testing purposes.
Title: Reporting Entity Accounting Policies: The SEFA is presented on a modified accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: KFCS follows the ODE Indirect Cost Certivication of 4.32% The reporting entity is fully described in notes to the financial statements. The Schedule includes all federal programs administered by the District for the year ended June 30, 2023.

Finding Details

Section III: Federal Awards Findings Finding 2023-02: 84.027/84.173 Special Education Cluster Criteria: The grant agreements allow an indirect cost rate to be applied to the direct costs of the grant expenditures. Condition: Excess indirect costs of $70,531 were requested and received. Cause: The excess was primarily due to a period of transition of business staff. This created a duplicated claim for 2 quarters for a majority of the amount identified. Effect or Potential Effect: The management has been in contact with the oversight agencies to ensure excess funds are returned or applied to subsequent requests. The impact was that indirect costs were paid through other funds instead. Questioned Costs: The costs of $70,531 were related to excess requests. Context: The indirect accidently claimed twice due to change in staff. Recommendation: We recommend that management make 1 indirect request once at the end of the grant period. This request will be for the total amount of the indirect that would be allowed to avoid claiming indirect on the same cost more than once. Views of the Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management accepts the recommendation and plan to calculate an estimated indirect cost at the beginning of the contract to ensure programs are not over spent with the actual request being submitted upon closing the program.
