Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Accordingly, federal expenditures are recognized when a warrant is issued rather than when the obligation is incurred. 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 County has elected to not use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Missoula County, Montana (County) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. 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 (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County. Component Units The County’s financial statements include the operations of the Missoula Aging Services and the Partnership Health Center, which expended $2,076,625 and $8,702,955 respectively, in federal awards, which are not included in the accompanying Schedule for the year ended June 30, 2023. This Schedule does not include the expenditures of the component units because they each completed a separate audit in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
Title: Schools and Roads - Grants to States Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Accordingly, federal expenditures are recognized when a warrant is issued rather than when the obligation is incurred. 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 County has elected to not use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule reports only the portion of the annual Schools and Roads – Grants to States (ALN 10.665) award that is allocated to the County. The County received an additional $166,258 that was allocated directly to area schools. Since the County has no oversight responsibilities, this amount is not included in this Schedule.

Finding Details

Finding 2023-003 – Reporting U.S. Department of Treasury COVID-19 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) – ALN 21.027 Reporting Condition: The internal control system to ensure that the Project and Expenditure Report submitted to Treasury was accurate was not operating effectively. The County reported total expenditures on the Quarter 2 2023 Project and Expenditure Report of $6,861,504 and total expenditures on the Quarter 2 2022 Project and Expenditure Report of $4,196,958 and therefore indicated 2023 fiscal year expenditures were $2,664,546 and reported expenditures on the 2023 SEFA of $4,173,433. Criteria: Quarterly reports are required to be accurate and include all activity of the reporting period, supported by the applicable accounting records and fairly presented in accordance with Treasury requirements. The reports are to include the current period expenditures, as well as the cumulative expenditures related to the projects. Cause: Internal controls in place to ensure that the quarterly reports were completed accurately were not adequate. Effect: The quarterly reports submitted to Treasury do not contain information supported by the accounting records of the County. Questioned Costs: Unknown. Identification as a Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding of 2022-003. Recommendation: We recommend the County implement a procedure to ensure that all required quarterly reports are completed accurately and verify that the expenditures agree to the amounts reported in the general ledger and SEFA. In addition, we recommend that the County ensure proper correction of previously submitted reports. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with this finding. See separate Corrective Action Plan.
