Audit 306685

Title: Note 3A. Commodities Accounting Policies: A. Reporting Entity - The accompanying Schedule includes all federal financial assistance programs administered by the State for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, except for the programs administered by the South Dakota Housing Development Authority and South Dakota Ellsworth Development Authority, which have elected to have their own Single Audits as described in Note 3Q. B. Basis of Presentation - The information in the Schedule is presented in accordance with Uniform Guidance. 1. Federal Awards - Federal financial assistance is defined in the Uniform Guidance as assistance that non-federal entities receive or administer in the form of grants, cooperative agreements, non-cash contributions or donations of property, direct appropriations, food commodities, loans, loan guarantees, interest subsidies, insurance, and other financial assistance, but does not include amounts received as reimbursement for services rendered to individuals for Medicare and Medicaid. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is a government-wide compendium of individual federal programs. Each program included in the catalog is assigned a five-digit Assistance Listing Number (ALN) and program name. The accompanying schedule and footnotes reflect the program names and ALNs assigned by the https://sam.gov website. Federal financial assistance programs and contracts which have not been assigned an ALN or, where management has been unable to determine the ALN, are identified with a two-digit number that identifies the federal awarding agency followed by ‘UNKNOWN’. 2. Clusters of Programs – Closely related programs with different ALNs which share common compliance requirements are considered clusters of programs, as determined by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). Most clusters of programs are contained within a single federal awarding agency and are reported on the Schedule under the respective awarding agency. Two clusters, the Research and Development Cluster and the Student Financial Assistance Cluster, have awards from two or more federal agencies. These clusters are reported on the Schedule in total under each federal awarding agency, with the detail for each individual award being shown by federal awarding agency at the bottom of the Schedule. 3. Pandemic Funding – Program expenditures of funds awarded in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic are identified with “COVID-19” in the Program Title. 4. Type A and Type B Programs - The Uniform Guidance establishes the levels of expenditures or expenses to be used in defining Type A and Type B federal financial assistance programs. Type A programs for the State are those which equaled or exceeded $8,700,000 in expenditures/disbursements/issuances for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Type B programs for the State are those which are less than $8,700,000 in expenditures/disbursements/issuances for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. C. Basis of Accounting - The information presented in the Schedule is presented on the cash basis of accounting, which is consistent with other federal grant reports, except for the Unemployment Insurance program (ALN 17.225), which is reported on the accrual basis. The State’s basic financial statements are reported on the modified accrual or the accrual basis of accounting and, therefore, the Schedule's data may not be directly traceable to the basic financial statements. The Schedule includes a portion of costs associated with general activities which are allocated to federal financial assistance programs under negotiated formulas commonly referred to as indirect cost rates. Several of South Dakota’s state agencies have negotiated indirect cost rates or other approved cost allocation plans for the purpose of claiming indirect costs, while others do not. The Board of Regents Central Office claimed the 10 percent de minimis cost rate during fiscal year 2023 for ALN 47.083 Integrative Activities. D. Expenditures and Expenses - All federal expenditures included in the Schedule are assistance received directly from the federal government or indirectly through entities from outside the State. When monies are received by one state grantee agency and re-distributed (expended) to another state grantee agency (i.e. a subaward of funds by the primary recipient state grantee agency to a subrecipient state grantee agency), the federal financial assistance is reflected in the primary receiving/expending state grantee agency's accounts. This is to avoid duplication and the overstatement of the aggregate level of federal financial assistance expended by the State. De Minimis Rate Used: Both Rate Explanation: The Board of Regents Central Office claimed the 10 percent de minimis cost rate during fiscal year 2023 for ALN 47.083 Integrative Activities.

Most clusters of programs are contained within a single federal awarding agency and are reported on the Schedule under the respective awarding agency. Two clusters, the Research and Development Cluster and the Student Financial Assistance Cluster, have awards from two or more federal agencies. These clusters are reported on the Schedule in total under each federal awarding agency, with the detail for each individual award being shown by federal awarding agency at the bottom of the Schedule. 3. Pandemic Funding – Program expenditures of funds awarded in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic are identified with “COVID-19” in the Program Title. 4. Type A and Type B Programs - The Uniform Guidance establishes the levels of expenditures or expenses to be used in defining Type A and Type B federal financial assistance programs. Type A programs for the State are those which equaled or exceeded $8,700,000 in expenditures/disbursements/issuances for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Type B programs for the State are those which are less than $8,700,000 in expenditures/disbursements/issuances for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. C. Basis of Accounting - The information presented in the Schedule is presented on the cash basis of accounting, which is consistent with other federal grant reports, except for the Unemployment Insurance program (ALN 17.225), which is reported on the accrual basis. The State’s basic financial statements are reported on the modified accrual or the accrual basis of accounting and, therefore, the Schedule's data may not be directly traceable to the basic financial statements. The Schedule includes a portion of costs associated with general activities which are allocated to federal financial assistance programs under negotiated formulas commonly referred to as indirect cost rates. Several of South Dakota’s state agencies have negotiated indirect cost rates or other approved cost allocation plans for the purpose of claiming indirect costs, while others do not. The Board of Regents Central Office claimed the 10 percent de minimis cost rate during fiscal year 2023 for ALN 47.083 Integrative Activities. D. Expenditures and Expenses - All federal expenditures included in the Schedule are assistance received directly from the federal government or indirectly through entities from outside the State. When monies are received by one state grantee agency and re-distributed (expended) to another state grantee agency (i.e. a subaward of funds by the primary recipient state grantee agency to a subrecipient state grantee agency), the federal financial assistance is reflected in the primary receiving/expending state grantee agency's accounts. This is to avoid duplication and the overstatement of the aggregate level of federal financial assistance expended by the State. De Minimis Rate Used: Both Rate Explanation: The Board of Regents Central Office claimed the 10 percent de minimis cost rate during fiscal year 2023 for ALN 47.083 Integrative Activities.

Two clusters, the Research and Development Cluster and the Student Financial Assistance Cluster, have awards from two or more federal agencies. These clusters are reported on the Schedule in total under each federal awarding agency, with the detail for each individual award being shown by federal awarding agency at the bottom of the Schedule. 3. Pandemic Funding – Program expenditures of funds awarded in response to the Coronavirus Pandemic are identified with “COVID-19” in the Program Title. 4. Type A and Type B Programs - The Uniform Guidance establishes the levels of expenditures or expenses to be used in defining Type A and Type B federal financial assistance programs. Type A programs for the State are those which equaled or exceeded $8,700,000 in expenditures/disbursements/issuances for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Type B programs for the State are those which are less than $8,700,000 in expenditures/disbursements/issuances for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. C. Basis of Accounting - The information presented in the Schedule is presented on the cash basis of accounting, which is consistent with other federal grant reports, except for the Unemployment Insurance program (ALN 17.225), which is reported on the accrual basis. The State’s basic financial statements are reported on the modified accrual or the accrual basis of accounting and, therefore, the Schedule's data may not be directly traceable to the basic financial statements. The Schedule includes a portion of costs associated with general activities which are allocated to federal financial assistance programs under negotiated formulas commonly referred to as indirect cost rates. Several of South Dakota’s state agencies have negotiated indirect cost rates or other approved cost allocation plans for the purpose of claiming indirect costs, while others do not. The Board of Regents Central Office claimed the 10 percent de minimis cost rate during fiscal year 2023 for ALN 47.083 Integrative Activities. D. Expenditures and Expenses - All federal expenditures included in the Schedule are assistance received directly from the federal government or indirectly through entities from outside the State. When monies are received by one state grantee agency and re-distributed (expended) to another state grantee agency (i.e. a subaward of funds by the primary recipient state grantee agency to a subrecipient state grantee agency), the federal financial assistance is reflected in the primary receiving/expending state grantee agency's accounts. This is to avoid duplication and the overstatement of the aggregate level of federal financial assistance expended by the State. De Minimis Rate Used: Both Rate Explanation: The Board of Regents Central Office claimed the 10 percent de minimis cost rate during fiscal year 2023 for ALN 47.083 Integrative Activities. This was the only state agency that claimed the de minimus cost rate during fiscal year 2023. After a Presidentially Declared Disaster, FEMA provides a Public Assistance Grant to reimburse eligible costs associated with repair, replacement, or restoration of disaster-damaged areas. The federal government reimburses in the form of cost-shared grants which requires state matching funds. For the year ended June 30, 2023, the amount included in the accompanying schedule for Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) (ALN 97.036) includes $1,890,656 of approved eligible expenditures that were incurred in previous years.

The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance is a government-wide compendium of individual federal programs. Each program included in the catalog is assigned a five-digit Assistance Listing Number (ALN) and program name. The accompanying schedule and footnotes reflect the program names and ALNs assigned by the https://sam.gov website. Federal financial assistance programs and contracts which have not been assigned an ALN or, where management has been unable to determine the ALN, are identified with a two-digit number that identifies the federal awarding agency followed by ‘UNKNOWN’. 2.

The State of South Dakota had a remaining amount of $663,756 from prior fiscal years. The State did not receive any additional inventory in fiscal year 2023 and used a total of $17,131 throughout the fiscal year. Because donated PPE has no bearing on the single audit, this footnote was not audited as part of the Single Audit.

The South Dakota Housing Development Authority (SDHDA) and the South Dakota Ellsworth Development Authority (SDEDA) are discretely presented component units of the State. The SDHDA and SDEDA have chosen to have their own separate Single Audits performed and have reported their federal expenditures, including loan information, in their own SEFAs. For SEFA reporting, the SDEDA was treated as a subrecipient of State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN 21.027), for which it received $270,000 from the State during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Copies of the SDHDA and the SDEDA Single Audits are available from the Department of Legislative Audit, 427 South Chapelle, c/o 500 East Capitol, by calling (605)773-3595, or online at https://legislativeaudit.sd.gov/reports/reports.aspx.
