The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activity of all applicable federal awards of the City of San Angelo for the year ended September 30, 2023. Federal awards received directly from federal agencies as well as federal awards passed through other government agencies are included on the Schedule. Federal awards include expenditures funded with program income but exclude expenditures funded with City matching funds. Federal programs were accounted for in Special Revenue and Capital Projects governmental fund types and the Enterprise proprietary fund type.

Title: NOTE B: BASIS OF ACCOUNTING Accounting Policies: General; Basis of Accounting; Sub-recipient Funding; Outstanding Loans De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The City has elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting (accrual basis for proprietary funds) to the extent grants are approved and applicable government cost principles specified by each grant, contract, and agreement are allowed. Under those cost principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The City does not recover indirect costs unless expressly allowed by each award. Federal grant revenues are generally considered to be earned to the extent of expenditures made under the provisions of the grant and, accordingly, when such funds are received, they are recorded as deferred revenues until earned.

Finding Details

Repeat Finding: No Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency Description: Overtime Approval Criteria: Timecards must be approved by department managers prior to payroll processing. Through this process, overtime must be approved. Condition: There were noted instances of timecards initiated and approved by the same person, and there were instances of timecards calculating excessive overtime per payroll for two employees, one of which had the authority to approve the timecards. Cause: Approvals for overtime worked were provided by an employee who also entered and was paid for excessive overtime. She approved excessive overtime for herself and another employee. Effect: Overtime was paid to two employees for excessive overtime over several pay periods. Context: An automated timecard system is used by the department, but overrides were made to input and approve excessive overtime. Recommendation: Work with the automated timecard system company to provide reports of overrides made. Designate a department head that does not have access to overrides in the timecard system to approve all time worked. Views of Responsible Officials: See Corrective Action Plan.
