Notes to SEFA

Title: Federal Perkins Loan Program Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein 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: Miami University elected not to exercise its option to use the 10-percent de minimus indirect cost rate due to the fact that the University has an existing approved indirect cost rate. The Federal Perkins Loan Program listed subsequently is administered directly by the University and balances and transactions related to this program are included in the University's financial statements. There were no new loans made during the current year and balances of loans outstanding at June 30, 2023 were $2,673,327.
Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein 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: Miami University elected not to exercise its option to use the 10-percent de minimus indirect cost rate due to the fact that the University has an existing approved indirect cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Miami University (the University) 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 select portion of the operations of the University, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the University.

Finding Details

Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.200.510(b), the auditee must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Schedule) for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements which must include the total Federal Awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR 200.502. Condition: The University’s Schedule of Expenditures for Federal Awards for the year ended June 30, 2022, was restated to include federal expenditures totaling $3,035,255 for the Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), Assistance Listing Number 97.036, resulting in total expenditures of $3,030,346. Cause: The federal program activity for the Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), Assistance Listing Number 97.036, was omitted from the Schedule of Expenditures for Federal Awards due to an oversight in the preparation of the Schedule. Effect: Improper reporting of federal expenditures can result in material errors on the Schedule leading to inaccurate major program determination by the auditors. In this instance, an error did result in the identification of an additional major program. Questioned Cost: None. Context: The University improperly excluded grant expenditures for the Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) program on the original Schedule for the year ended June 30, 2022 in the amount of $3,035,255 resulting in total expenditures of $3,030,346 for the program and, therefore, the single audit report was reissued for the correction of the error. Recommendation: We recommend the University enhance the process and internal controls around the timely identification of federal awards and preparation of the Schedule to ensure accuracy and completeness of the Schedule. Views of responsible officials: We agree with the compliance finding. See the Corrective Action Plan at pages 71-72.
