Finding Details

f Expenditures of Federal Awards (Material Weakness – All Awards) Criteria: 2 CFR 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principals, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, £200.508 (b) The auditee must prepare appropriate statements including an accurate Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) in accordance with £200.510, Financial Statements. Condition and Context: Audit procedures noted several errors in the client provided SEFA. Cause: Insufficient training and internal controls over the preparation and review process for the SEFA. Effect: The following errors were noted and corrected as a result of auditing procedures on the SEFA: • The NOAA Mission-Related Education Awards was mislabeled and the CFDA # was missing. • The Highway Planning and Construction CFDA # was incorrect. • The State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds expenditures were overstated by $86,304. • The Highway Planning and Construction expenditures were overstated by $6,282. • The SEFA did not include the State Small Business Credit Initiative program of $310,000. • COVID-19 labels were missing from two programs. • Award term was not included for any agreements. Questioned Costs – None Recommendation: Management should seek appropriate training for the fiscal department on preparation of the SEFA standards.

We corrected the CFDA# for the Highway Planning and Construction as soon as we were able to obtain them from the MEDOT. The contract documents did not include that information. We reported the revenue for the State and Local Recovery Funds in the award column. We now know to put the unspent revenue in deferred.
