Notes to SEFA

Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the SEFA are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: Unless an indirect rate was specified in the grant agreement, the Organization elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate to recover allowable indirect costs for federal grants. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards ("SEFA") includes the federal award activity of Mariposa Center for Safety ("Organization"), 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 Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards ("Uniform Guidance"). Because the SEFA presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization. If the Organization is required to match certain federal assistance, as defined by the grant agreements, no such matching has been included as expenditures in the schedule.

Finding Details

Condition: As a result of our audit procedures and review of the SEFA, we proposed multiple adjustments to the SEFA, which resulted in a material change in total expenditures of federal awards. Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200 Cause: Oversight by management, and there was not an independent review of the SEFA prepared by someone other than the preparer. Effect: Audit adjustments were required for the SEFA to be materially correct in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.510(b). Recommendation: We recommend that prior to sending the SEFA to the auditors, management performed a detailed review of the SEFA, general ledger, and monthly invoicing spreadsheets for each federal program included on the SEFA, to ensure the reports are consistent and the SEFA is complete and accurate. If possible, this review should be completed by an individual who did not prepare the SEFA and who has the appropriate skills, knowledge and experience of accounting and reporting in the nonprofit industry. View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.
