Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Hospital does not draw for indirect administrative expenses and has not elected to use the 10% de minimus cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) includes the federal award activity of Yuma District Hospital’s (Hospital) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information 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 the operations of the Hospital, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the Hospital.
Title: Donated Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (unaudited) Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Hospital does not draw for indirect administrative expenses and has not elected to use the 10% de minimus cost rate. Nonmonetary assistance of PPE received during the emergency period of the COVID‐19 pandemic was approximately $12,300 and is based on the estimated fair market value of the PPE received. The donated PPE was generally provided by donors without information about compliance or reporting requirements associated with federal financial assisting listings. The donated PPE is not included in the schedule.
Title: COVID‐19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Hospital does not draw for indirect administrative expenses and has not elected to use the 10% de minimus cost rate. The Hospital received amounts from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) through the COVID‐19 Provider Relief Fund and American Rescue Plan (ARP) Rural Distribution (PRF) program (Federal Financial Assistance Listing #93.498). The PRF expenditures are recognized on the schedule when the expenditures were included in the reporting to HHS for Period 3, defined as payments received between January 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and Period 4, defined as payments received between July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. As the total amount of $486,495 was included in the Period 4 report submitted to HHS, that amount is shown on the accompanying schedule. The Hospital did not report any Period 3 payments. The total amount of PRF expenditures included on the schedule requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Accordingly, such expenditures are considered a significant estimate. Estimates and assumptions may include reducing actual expenses by amounts that have been reimbursed or are obligated to be reimbursed by other sources and estimating marginal increases in expenses related to coronavirus. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates.
Title: Loan Programs Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. When applicable, 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. No federal financial assistance has been provided to a subrecipient. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Hospital does not draw for indirect administrative expenses and has not elected to use the 10% de minimus cost rate. Expenditures reported on this schedule consists of the beginning of the year outstanding loan balance of the Hospital’s USDA direct loan of $5,680,572, as well as $12,163,106, which is 90% of the beginning of the year outstanding balance of the Hospital’s USDA guaranteed loan. If applicable, advances made on the loans during the year are reported on the schedule. The Hospital made no advances on the loans during the year ended December 31, 2022. The Hospital’s outstanding loan balances for the direct loan and the guaranteed loan as of December 31, 2022 are $5,554,627 and $12,984,520 (of which 90% is $11,686,068), respectively.

Department of Agriculture Federal Financial Assistance Listing #10.766 Community Facilities Loans and Grants Cluster Special Tests and Provisions Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Over Compliance Criteria – 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and conditions of the federal awards. Condition – During our testing, there was no formal review separate from the preparer over the reserve fund reconciliations for the federal program. In addition, there was lack of review of the quarterly internal monitoring of the Hospital’s debt covenants. Cause – The Hospital did not have an adequate internal control policy in place to ensure review and approval over the reserve funds and quarterly internal monitoring of the debt covenants. Effect – The lack of adequate policies governing review increases the risk that employees participating in the federal award administration may not be able to detect and correct noncompliance in a timely manner. Questioned Costs – None reported. Context – Sampling was not used. Repeat Finding from Prior Years – No Recommendation – We recommend the Hospital enhance internal control policies to ensure that formal documentation of reviews is present.
