Title: NOTE C - RECONCILATION TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity of the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff and is presented on the modified 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 Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

Also, the Sheriff elected not to use the 10% de minimis cost rate as allowed by 2 CFR 200.414 Indirect (F&A) costs. The federal grant expenditures are reported within the various expenditure categories of the general fund and are not readily distinguishable to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. However, revenue is generally recorded for these grants in an amount equal to allowable costs incurred and therefore the following reconciliation to reported federal grant revenue is provided:Total expenditures per SEFA $ 1,616,386 Revenue expended over collected for Equitable Sharing Program 55,515 FEMA revenues paid in excess of amounts obligated in a prior year 869,967 Federal grants revenue per financial statements $ 2,541,868

Finding Details

Criteria: The Uniform Guidance Federal regulations per 2 CFR section 200.332 requires among other things, that all requirements be imposed by the pass-through entity (PTE) on the subrecipient so that the federal award is used in accordance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award. Universe/Population: The portion of federal expenditures reimbursed and passed through to subrecipients by the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office (the Sheriff). Based on these requirements, the population consisted of a total dollar amount of $205,788. Condition: Funding passed down to subrecipients of the federal program are not adequately reviewed for all applicable compliance requirements as required under the Uniform Guidance. We noted that for the subrecipient a grant accountant reviewed the expenditures for allowable activities and allowable costs, however these costs were not reviewed for appropriate federal procurement and reporting requirements. Cause: The Sheriff does not currently have an adequate control designed and implemented to test the expenditures being reimbursed for various award requirements as required under the Uniform Guidance over subrecipient monitoring policies, to a sufficient level of detail and understanding. Effect: Without accurate review of the costs being submitted for reimbursement, the Sheriff could request for reimbursement costs that are unallowable or did not follow the appropriate federal guidelines for reimbursement. The amount of questioned costs is $205,788. Recommendation: The Sheriff should review subrecipient costs for all grant requirements before being submitted for reimbursement to ensure appropriate monitoring. This review should also include review of subrecipient quarterly reports. View of Responsible Official: Management agrees with this finding and will implement a more detailed review process for PTE and subrecipient monitoring requirements to ensure grant requirements are being appropriately followed.
