Title: Loan/loan guarantee outstanding balances Accounting Policies: NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. NOTE C - INDIRECT COST REIMBURSEMENTS The Uniform Guidance requires that all indirect costs be charged through the use of an approved indirect cost rate. When no indirect cost rate has been approved, the Uniform Guidance allows for a one-time election to use a 10% de minimis reimbursement rate. Aloun Foundation Inc. has not charged any indirect costs to its federal programs since the Uniform Guidance became applicable, and has yet to determine if it will elect the 10% de minimis reimbursement rate.

Finding Details

Finding 2023-001
Criteria Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.512(a) requires that financial audits are completed and submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the earlier of 30 calendar days after receipt of the auditor's report or nine months after the end of the audit period. Condition The Project's December 31, 2022 financial statement audit was not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 30 calendar days after the receipt of the auditor's report. Cause Management within the Project erroneously did not authorize submission of the financial statements to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse, thus the financial statements were not submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the nine-month or 30-day window. Effect of Condition The Project is out of compliance with the reporting requirements detailed in the Uniform Guidance. Recommendation We recommend that policies and procedures be implemented to ensure the financial statement audit is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Management's Response Management agrees with the recommendation and will work with the auditor to ensure the financial audit is submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within the required timeframe. Management has taken substantial steps to prevent this from happening in the future, including but not limited to an internal review of all accounting policies and procedures, a review of methodologies and tools used to track accounting deadlines and commitments.
