Notes to SEFA

Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance for all awards. Under these principles, 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The District did not use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the District under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. 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 operations of the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the District.

Finding Details

Criteria or specific requirement: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards requires compliance with the provisions of Equipment/Real Property Management. 2 CFR Part 200.439 specifies capital expenditures are unallowable as direct charges, except with the prior written approval of the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity. 2 CFR Part 200.303 requires the District establish and maintain effective internal controls over the Federal award to ensure compliance with those provisions. Condition: During our testing, we noted the District did not have adequate internal controls designed to ensure construction related expenditures had prior approval from the pass-through entity for one out of the five construction related expenditures tested. Questioned costs: $145,718. Context: There were a total of five construction related expenditure projects charged to the federal program totaling $1,869,807 and all five were tested of which one project totaling $145,718 did not have the required prior approval from the pass-through entity. Cause: The District had turnover in the facilities department and this step was missed on one of the expenditures. Effect: The District did not obtain the prior approval from the pass-through entity on one of the construction related expenditure projects and resulting in noncompliance. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the District design procedures and controls to ensure adequate prior approval of construction related expenditures charged to the Education Stabilization Fund program. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding and has developed a plan to correct the finding.
