Notes to SEFA

Title: NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: Basis of presentation – The schedule of expenditures of federal awards is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. 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). Federal expenses include allowable expenses funded by federal grants. Allowable costs are subject to the cost principles of the Uniform Guidance and include costs that are recognized as expenses in NYOS’ financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. NYOS has elected not to use the 10% de minimus rate for indirect costs and does not have any subrecipients. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of NYOS, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of NYOS. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Auditee has elected not to use the 10% de minimus rate for indirect costs.

Finding Details

Finding #2024-004 – Material Weakness and Other Non-Compliance – Reporting. Applicable federal programs: All Programs. Criteria: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards – In accordance with the Uniform Guidance §200.508 and §200.510, management is to prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal wards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements which must include the total federal awards expended. Condition and context: As a result of turnover in the accounting department, NYOS did not provide a SEFA that reconciled to the expenses, reported in the general ledger and had not reconciled expenses to revenue reported for federal grants to identify differences. As a result, a federal grant with expenditures of approximately $168,000 was omitted from the SEFA. Cause: NYOS failed to have procedures in place to properly prepare the SEFA and to reconcile expenses to revenue reported for federal grants. Effect: The SEFA provided was not complete resulting in adjustments. Recommendation: Develop policies and procedures to identify and reflect all federal programs and required information on the SEFA and to reconcile expenses to revenue. View of responsible officials and planned correction actions: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.
