Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented on the accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Bi-State Development has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance, Section 414. Bi-State Development utilized a Cost Allocation Plan to calculate its indirect costs through June 30, 2023. Effective July 1, 2023, Bi-State Development utilizes an Indirect Cost Rate Plan (ICRP). Bi-State Development’s Cost Allocation Plan results in an indirect rate and direct fringe rate of 47.80% and 75.28%, respectively, to the extent allowable by federal programs. Bi-State Development’s ICRP results in an indirect rate and direct fringe rate of 53.70% and 70.20%, respectively, to the extent allowable by federal programs. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Bi-State Development under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of 2 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 Bi-State Development, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of Bi-State Development.

Finding Details

The Agency does not have adequate procedures in place to ensure period of performance for federal awards. During our testing, we identified a cost transfer that was for costs that were incurred before the period of performance date. The Agency does not have an effective control in place to ensure only costs incurred during the approved budget period of federal awards period of performance are charged to federal awards. Failure to ensure only costs incurred during the approved budget period of federal awards period of performance may result in inaccurate periodic financial reports and unallowable costs. We recommend the Agency review its cost transfers procedures and implement additional procedures to monitor federal awards period of performance
