Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Tarrant County Homeless Coalition (TCHC) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information in the 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 TCHC, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of TCHC. 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: TCHC has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance and continues to use the cost allocation plan negotiated individually with its grantors.

Finding Details

Finding No. 2023‐001: Period of Performance – material weakness in internal control over compliance and compliance finding. Continuum of Care Program ALN 14.267 Criteria: As stipulated in 2 CFR Part 200.403(h) of the Uniform Guidance, a cost must be incurred during the approved budget period, unless otherwise authorized by the federal awarding agency or pass‐through entity. Condition: During period of performance testing 1 out of the 14 sample selections was not in compliance with period of performance requirements. Cause: TCHC’s management was not aware that prior authorization from grantor was required to charge expenses from the previous grant period to the new grant period. TCHC had exhausted all the previous grant period funds before the end of the grant period. Effect: TCHC incorrectly charged costs to the grant period beginning December 31, 2023, rather than to the grant period ending November 30, 2023 in accordance with when the costs were incurred. Questioned Costs: None in excess of reporting requirements. Recommendation: TCHC should put internal controls in place to ensure that costs are charged and allocated to the proper grant period. Management’s Response: See corrective action plan.
