Notes to SEFA

Title: Note 1. Basis of Presentation 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. The reimbursement of indirect costs reflected in the accompanying financial statements as federal grant revenue is subject to final approval by federal grantors and could be adjusted upon the results of these reviews. Management believes that the results of any such adjustment will not be material to WWH’s financial position or change in net assets. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: WWH has elected not to use the 10­percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Whitman-Walker Clinic, Inc. dba Whitman-Walker Health (WWH) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 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 WWH, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of WWH.
Title: Note 4. Reconciliation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to the Statement of Activities 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. The reimbursement of indirect costs reflected in the accompanying financial statements as federal grant revenue is subject to final approval by federal grantors and could be adjusted upon the results of these reviews. Management believes that the results of any such adjustment will not be material to WWH’s financial position or change in net assets. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: WWH has elected not to use the 10­percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. For the year ended December 31, 2023, WWH recognized $12,304,073 of revenue from federal/pass-through grants which is included in contracts and grants revenue along with other non-federal contracts and grants of $3,436,284 in the accompanying statements of activities. WWH recognizes federal revenue based on allowable direct and fringe benefit costs incurred. Federal expenditures are allocated on a functional basis within the statement of activities.

Finding Details

2023-001 – Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Identification of the Federal Program – 93.224/93.527 Health Center Program Cluster Criteria – CFR Section §200.510(b) states in part: “The auditee must also prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (Schedule) for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with §200.502”. CFR Section §200.502(a) also states that, “The determination of when a Federal award is expended must be based on when the activity related to the Federal award occurs”. Condition – We noted that there were significant adjustments needed to present a complete and accurate Schedule. Cause – WWH’s internal controls over preparation and review of the Schedule were not properly implemented for the year ended December 31, 2023. Such internal controls were designed to require timely review of the accuracy of the Schedule by appropriate personnel. Effect – The Schedule for the year ended December 31, 2023 inappropriately included $250,500 of expenditures related to previous years. Questioned costs – none Context – Internal controls or processes in place were not implemented as intended to ensure an accurate Schedule was prepared. Repeat finding – No Recommendation – We recommend the Schedule to be reviewed timely and with sufficient precision by the appropriate level of personnel. View of Responsible Officials - Management agrees with the Federal Award Finding regarding the determination of when a Federal award is expended. As part of the Corrective Action Plan, Grants management staff from Finance and Program departments are meeting regularly to ensure that the expenditures are recorded in the appropriate year.
