De Minimis Rate Used: N
Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate.
The Board participates in a number of federally assisted programs. These programs are audited in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996, if applicable, in accordance with the required levels of Federal Financial Assistance. Audits of prior years have not resulted in any significant disallowed costs; however, grantor agencies may provide for further examinations. Based on prior experience, management believes that further examinations would not result in any significant disallowed costs.For a portion of the expenditures in the federal programs, the Board contracts with other entities to perform specific services set forth in the grant agreement. The Board disburses grant funds to the entities based on invoices and reports received from each contractor. These agencies are required to submit an annual independent audit report to Lower Rio Grande Valley Workforce Development Board. The Board also performs financial monitoring on the contractors. If such audits or monitoring activities disclose expenditures not in accordance with terms of the local contract agreement, the Boards grantor agency could disallow the costs and require reimbursement from the Boards nonfederal funds. The Board generally has the right of recovery from the contractors. Based on prior experience, management believes that the Board will not incur significant losses form possible grant disallowance.
