Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principals contained in OMBs Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Under federal cost principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Pass-through entity identifying members are presented where available. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Center has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimus indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the federal grant activity of the Center under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 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 Center, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of the Center.
Title: Sub-Recipients Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards are presented on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principals contained in OMBs Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Under federal cost principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Pass-through entity identifying members are presented where available. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Center has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimus indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. There were no amounts provided to subrecipients from federal awards received during the year ended June 30, 2022.

Finding Details

Program: AL# 93.600 ? Head Start Sponsor Award Number: CT9259071 Sponsor Agency: US Department of Health and Human Services Criteria: Non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards must establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Effective internal controls should include procedures to ensure vouchers that request reimbursement of grant expenditures are reviewed for completeness and accuracy before submission. Citation: 2 CFR 200.303 Condition: The Center did not review vouchers for completeness and accuracy before submission. Cause: For vouchers submitted electronically, the Center did not establish controls to review vouchers prior to submission. Effect: Failure to review vouchers before submission may result in inaccurate financial reporting and drawing federal funds more than expenditures incurred. Questioned Costs: None. Context: This was an award specific problem that affected only the grant listed above. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the Center implement monitoring procedures to ensure vouchers are reviewed prior to submission. Documentation of the review performed should be maintained. Views of Responsible Officials: See Corrective Action Plan.
