Notes to SEFA

Title: Assistance Listing Numbers Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Glendale Union High School District No. 205 under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in the 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 Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the District. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified 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 as to reimbursement. Any negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. Passthrough entity identifying numbers are presented where available. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis indirect cost rate. The program titles and Assistance Listing numbers were obtained from the federal or pass‐through grantor or through sam.gov. If the three‐digit Assistance Listing extension is unknown, there is a U followed by a two‐digit number in the Assistance Listing extension to identify one or more Federal award lines from that program. The first Federal program with an unknown three‐digit extension is indicated with U01 for all award lines associated with that program, the second is U02, etc.

Condition The District lacked proper internal controls over preparation of the annual reporting required for the Education Stabilization Fund. Cause The annual report was not reviewed by someone other than the preparer. Effect The annual report contained errors in the number of ESSER funded positions and also indicated the District allocated ESSER funds to schools, when in fact they did not. Context The number of ESSER funded positions reported to the Arizona Department of Education did not agree to the FTE Statistics report for each specific position. In total, positions did not agree by 45 positions. Recommendation The District should ensure reported figures agree to supporting documentation and that annual reports are reviewed by someone other than the preparer.
