Notes to SEFA

Title: GENERAL INFORMATION Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal, state and city awards is presented using the accrual basis of accounting. The amounts reported in this schedule as expenditures may differ from certain financial reports submitted to funding agencies because those reports may be submitted on either a cash or modified cash basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal, state and city awards presents activities in all federal, state and city award programs of Resources for Human Development, Inc. All financial assistance received directly from federal agencies, as well as financial assistance passed through other governmental agencies or not-for-profit organizations, is included on the schedule.
Title: RELATIONSHIP TO BASIC CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal, state and city awards is presented using the accrual basis of accounting. The amounts reported in this schedule as expenditures may differ from certain financial reports submitted to funding agencies because those reports may be submitted on either a cash or modified cash basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Organization did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Federal, state and city award expenditures are reported on the consolidated statement of functional expenditures as program costs. However, expenditures in the schedule of expenditures of federal, state and city awards for certain programs which have incurred deficits have been limited to the related contracted amount. In addition, for certain programs, the expenditures reported in the basic consolidated financial statements may differ from the expenditures reported in the schedule of expenditures of federal, state and city awards due to program expenditures exceeding grant or contract budget limitations which are not included as federal, state and city financial assistance. As further discussed in footnote 2 to the basic consolidated financial statements, the Organization has a policy which allows the carryover of unused vacation time for program employees. This schedule does not reflect the accrual for these expenditures.

Finding Details

FINDING 2024-002 Late Submission of Reporting Package and Data Collection Form FINDING TYPE Noncompliance of Reporting AGENCY U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ALN 14.218 Community Development Block Grants/Entitlement Grants 14.267 Continuum of Care Program 93.958 Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse 93.778 Medical Assistance Program CRITERIA The Uniform Guidance requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received from auditors or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless longer period of time was agreed to in advance by the cognizant or oversight agency for audit. The Federal Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. CONDITION AND CONTEXT The Federal reporting deadline for the June 30, 2023 Single Audit Reporting Package was March 31, 2024; however, RHD did not submit its Single Audit Reporting Package until July 10, 2024. This finding was initially reported as part of the June 30, 2023 audit reporting package. Because the late submission was due during the year ended June 30, 2024, it is deemed to impact compliance for the year ended June 30, 2024 as well so it is being reported again. CAUSE With over 160 different governmental contracts, management has been tasked with significant reporting and audit requirements. In addition, due to financial conditions disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements, resources normally committed to the completion of the audit were utilized for financial analyses and treasury management which had a direct impact on the financial reporting process which precipitated delinquency in commencing and completing the fiscal year 2023 audit. EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT The late submission of the reporting package affects all Federal programs administered by RHD. REPEAT FINDING Yes. RECOMMENDATION We recommend that RHD improve its financial reporting processes, including timely closing of the general ledger, so that the Single Audit Reporting Package can be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received from auditors or nine months after year-end. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS AND PLANNED CORRECTIVE ACTION See attached corrective action plan. Questioned Costs None.

The Federal Audit Clearinghouse considers the submission requirement complete when it has received the electronic submission of both the data collection form and the reporting package. CONDITION AND CONTEXT The Federal reporting deadline for the June 30, 2023 Single Audit Reporting Package was March 31, 2024; however, RHD did not submit its Single Audit Reporting Package until July 10, 2024. This finding was initially reported as part of the June 30, 2023 audit reporting package. Because the late submission was due during the year ended June 30, 2024, it is deemed to impact compliance for the year ended June 30, 2024 as well so it is being reported again. CAUSE With over 160 different governmental contracts, management has been tasked with significant reporting and audit requirements. In addition, due to financial conditions disclosed in note 3 to the financial statements, resources normally committed to the completion of the audit were utilized for financial analyses and treasury management which had a direct impact on the financial reporting process which precipitated delinquency in commencing and completing the fiscal year 2023 audit. EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT The late submission of the reporting package affects all Federal programs administered by RHD. REPEAT FINDING Yes. RECOMMENDATION We recommend that RHD improve its financial reporting processes, including timely closing of the general ledger, so that the Single Audit Reporting Package can be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse no later than the earlier of 30 days after the reports are received from auditors or nine months after year-end.

FINDING 2024-005 Procurement – Documentation FINDING TYPE Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance AGENCY U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ALN 93.224 / 93.527 Health Center Cluster CRITERIA In accordance with 2 CFR 200.318(i), entities receiving federal funds are responsible for maintaining records that contain sufficient detail of the history of each procurement transaction. These records must include the rationale for the procurement method, contract type selection, contractors selection or rejections, and the basis for the contract price. CONDITION AND CONTEXT We selected four procurements for testing. Out of these four, we noted one instance where the documentation of the rationale behind the vendor selection was not available. Management was able to explain to us why the vendor offered an appropriate mix of price and value to the Federal program, but the documentation of the decision was not able to be presented. Also, for one out of four tested items, a record of the initial debarment/suspension check was not able to be produced. Management was able to show us a master vendor database compliance screening that was run after this vendor had been selected. However, documentation of the initial check was not available. CAUSE The staff involved with these procurement decisions did not have a consistent process for maintaining documentation related to procurement decisions. EFFECT OR POTENTIAL EFFECT Without consistent documentation, there is a risk that procurement decisions will not be in compliance with the procurement requirements of the Uniform Guidance. REPEAT FINDING No. RECOMMENDATION We recommend that the organization reinforce to all personnel involved in procurement the importance of maintaining the required documentation for procurement decisions.
