2023-003 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles
Federal Program Information
Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Education
Title: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies
AL Number: 84.010
Criteria
In accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.430(g)(1)(vi), the District must document employee
time and effort spent in the Title I program, if under the employee works on more than one
Federal award; a Federal award and non-Federal award; an indirect cost activity and a direct
cost activity; two or more indirect activities allocated using different allocation bases; or an
unallowable activity and a direct or indirect cost activity. Furthermore, a system of internal
controls would have an entity file all approved wages in the employee personal file.
Condition
The District was missing documentation to support time and effort of faculty members who
had wages less than 100% being charged to the Title I program. Also, we noted during
testing that 1 employee of the 11 hourly employees tested had the timecard not calculated
correctly and 7 time documents out of 48 tested did not have the proper approval.
Questioned Costs
None
Context
The District had recorded partial or entire salaries of 132 employees to the program. Of this
listing of employees, we tested 11.
Effect
Expenditures improperly or inaccurately being charged to the program.
Cause
Management oversight.
Recommendation
We recommend the District require all faculty in the Title I program complete time and effort
reports. We also recommend that the District calculates timecards to be reviewed before
payroll is processed. We also recommend the District implement a policy that all timecards
submitted are reviewed and approved by employee’s supervisor.
Repeat Finding
This is a repeat finding of 2022-005.

(which still may be referenced as the Davis-Bacon Act) a provision that the contractor or
subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations (29 CFR Part 5,
Lacor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and
Assisted Construction). This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to
submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is
performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls) (29 CFR
sections 5.5 and 5.6; the A-102 Common Rule (section 36(i)(5)).

2023-006 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles
Federal Program Information
Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Education
Title: Education Stabilization Fund
AL Number: 84.425
Criteria
Uniform Guidance requires “all laborers and mechanics employed by contractors or
subcontractors to work on construction contracts in excess of $2,000 financed by federal
assistance funds must be paid wages not less than those established for the locality of the
project (prevailing wage rates) by the Department of Labor (DOL)”. Furthermore, “nonfederal
entities shall include in their construction contracts subject to the Wage Rate Requirements
(which still may be referenced as the Davis-Bacon Act) a provision that the contractor or
subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations (29 CFR Part 5,
Lacor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contracts Governing Federally Financed and
Assisted Construction). This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to
submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is
performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls) (29 CFR
sections 5.5 and 5.6; the A-102 Common Rule (section 36(i)(5)).
Condition
The District did not have signed contracts with the required wage rate requirements. We also
noted the certified payrolls were not submitted until 6 months after the construction project
began and the wage rate requirements were not required until this time as well.
Questioned Costs
Undeterminable
Context
The District had contracted out one construction project during the period under audit.
Effect
Wages paid by contractors may not have been in accordance with criteria identified above.
Cause
Management oversight.
Recommendation
We recommend the District implement policies and procedures to ensure when federal funds
are paying for construction in excess of $2,000, that the wage rate requirements are being
followed.
