Further, the financial management system of each non-federal entity must provide accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements. According to § 75.303 Internal controls of 45 CFR Part 75, the non-federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award.

Questioned costs: Unknown Context: The Family Practice incurred and allocated expenses for reimbursement by the grant but was unable to provide adequate detail for selection and testing of the source documentation required by the auditor to verify compliance.

Effect: Inability to support compliance with the grant and a potential loss of federal funding Recommendation: We recommend the Family Practice design controls and procedures to ensure submitted reports and the documentation used to prepare the reports are properly maintained in the files of the Family Practice.
