Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.

along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.
Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.

to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.
Questioned Costs:

Recommendation:
We recommend management consistently follow its policy for pre-approval of requests for reimbursements
along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.

along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.
Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.

to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.
Questioned Costs:

Recommendation:
We recommend management consistently follow its policy for pre-approval of requests for reimbursements
along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.

along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.
Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.

to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.
Questioned Costs:

Recommendation:
We recommend management consistently follow its policy for pre-approval of requests for reimbursements
along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.

along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.
Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.

to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.
Questioned Costs:

Recommendation:
We recommend management consistently follow its policy for pre-approval of requests for reimbursements
along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.

along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.
Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.

to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.
Questioned Costs:

Recommendation:
We recommend management consistently follow its policy for pre-approval of requests for reimbursements
along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.

along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.
Criteria:
2 CFR 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal
Awards and the Federal Acquisition Regulations require federal award recipients/contractors such as SRI
to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.

to have internal controls in place to ensure requests for reimbursement for contract work in process are
made either after the incurring the underlying contract costs or, if advanced, within a specified period of
time before incurring those costs. The purpose of these requirements is to minimize the time between
release of Federal funds and their use by the recipient/contractor.
Condition:
SRI does have a control in place whereby its requests for reimbursements are pre-approved by a reviewer
and evidence of that approval is maintained. However, in our sample of 40 requests for reimbursement, we
noted 3 instances where SRI could not provide evidence of this pre-approval.
Cause:
Those responsible for the cash management process did not maintain record of proof of approval.
Effect:
Without proper review procedures in place cash could inadvertently be requested in advance of incurring
the underlying contract cost.
Questioned Costs:

Recommendation:
We recommend management consistently follow its policy for pre-approval of requests for reimbursements
along with retaining documentation of that pre-approval on file.
