Notes to SEFA

Title: 3. Classified Contracts Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of SRI International (“SRI”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 29, 2023. For purposes of this Schedule, SRI has determined Other Transaction Agreements do not meet the criteria to include on the Schedule. SRI uses a fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in December. The fiscal year ended December 29, 2023 included 52 weeks of operations. 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 (the “Uniform Guidance”). The purpose of the Schedule is to present a summary of those activities of SRI for the year ended December 39, 2023 which have been financed by the U.S. Government. For purposes of the Schedule, federal awards include all federal assistance entered into directly and indirectly between SRI and the federal government or federal subrecipient. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 48 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Federal Acquisition Regulations System and the Uniform Guidance, as applicable, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of SRI, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or the cash flows of SRI. Assistant listing and pass-through numbers have been included when available. Negative amounts represent adjustment to amounts reported in prior years in the normal course of business. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: SRI International applies its negotiated indirect rates when charging indirect costs to federal awards rather than the 10% de minimis cost rate as described in Section 200.414 of the Uniform Guidance. Indirect costs included in this Schedule have been calculated using the lesser of allowable ceiling rates or anticipated final rates. Therefore, the amounts presented in this Schedule include direct expense charges and indirect costs at anticipated final rates. During the year ended December 29, 2023, SRI expended $24,393,642 of funds under classified contracts that are designated as Client Private or Do Not Publish (“DNP”) on the Schedule. These contracts have national security interests and therefore, have not been identified by the underlying federal agency name.

Indirect costs included in this Schedule have been calculated using the lesser of allowable ceiling rates or anticipated final rates. Therefore, the amounts presented in this Schedule include direct expense charges and indirect costs at anticipated final rates. SRI made updates to the Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) for certain government contracts in the Schedule. When ALN is not available, we added ‘U’ or ‘V’ with a sequential number at the end for each contract to help clarify grouping of contracts.

Finding Details

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. Questioned Costs: $0 Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. 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. Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding.

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: $0 Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. 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. 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.

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.

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: $0 Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. 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. 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.

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.

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: $0 Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. 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. 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.

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.

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: $0 Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. 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. 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.

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.

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.
