Finding Details

2023-001: OVERCHARGE OF FICA EXPENSES (repeat comment) Type: Considered a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance/immaterial noncompliance Program: ALN 93.958 Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services (Intensive Crisis Stabilization Services Expansion Grant) ALN 93.959 Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse (SUD Block Grant) Criteria: As detailed by 2 CFR 200.309, “A non-Federal CMHSP may charge to the Federal award only allowable costs incurred during the period of performance and any costs incurred before the Federal awarding agency or pass-through CMHSP made the Federal award that were authorized by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through CMHSP.”. Condition: During testing, it was noted that FICA costs were overcharged for ALN 93.958 by $6,663 and for ALN 93.959 by $458. Cause/Effect: This condition appears to be the result of an incorrect allocation for fringe for one employee. Questioned Cost: Immaterial Recommendation: We recommend that the CMHSP review its methods for determining allocations of fringe benefits to the grants. Management’s Resp: Management is in agreement with this recommendation.

2023-002 OVERCHARGE OF INDIRECT COSTS Type: Considered a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance/immaterial noncompliance Program: ALN 93.959 Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse (SUD Block Grant) Criteria: As detailed by 2 CFR 200.309, “A non-Federal CMHSP may charge to the Federal award only allowable costs incurred during the period of performance and any costs incurred before the Federal awarding agency or pass-through CMHSP made the Federal award that were authorized by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through CMHSP.”. Condition: During testing, it was noted that indirect costs were overcharged for ALN 93.959 by an immaterial amount. Cause/Effect: This condition was the result of requesting indirect costs based on 1/12th of the budgeted indirect costs each month instead of requesting a percentage of direct costs each month. Questioned Cost: Immaterial Recommendation: We recommend that the CMHSP review its methods for applying indirect costs to grants. Management’s Resp: Management is in agreement with this recommendation.
