Notes to SEFA

Title: Assistance Listing Numbers Accounting Policies: 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. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. The program titles and assistance listing numbers were obtained from the federal or pass-through grantor. When no assistance listing number had been assigned to a program, the two-digit federal agency identifier and the federal contract number were used.
Title: Loans with Continuing Compliance Requirements Accounting Policies: 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. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. Outstanding federally-funded program loans, with a continuing compliance requirement, carried balances as of June 30, 2024 as follows:
Title: Paa-Through Entities' Idenifying Number Accounting Policies: 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. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. When federal awards were received from a pass-through entity, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards shows, if available, the identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity. When no identifying number is shown, the County determined that no identifying number is assigned for the program or the County was unable to obtain an identifying number from the pass-through entity.
Title: California Department of Aging Accounting Policies: 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. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County did not elect to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. The terms and conditions of contracts with the California Department of Aging require agencies to display state-funded expenditures discretely along with the related federal expenditures. The following schedule is presented to comply with these requirements.

Finding Details

Criteria: Non-federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. Before entering into a covered transaction the entity must verify that the contractor is not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. Condition: During the course of the audit, it was observed that suspension and debarment checks were not conducted for three vendors. This oversight was identified through a comprehensive review of the vendor management process and related documentation. Questioned Costs: None noted. Context: CLA found the following: Suspension and debarment procedures were not perfomed for three out of five vendors prior to entering into the transaction. Cause: The County does not have standard procedures in place for ensuring that vendors are not suspended or debarred. Effect: Without checking debarment before engaging services, the County could have entered into an agreement with a vendor that was disbarred from receiving federal funding. Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: CLA recommends the County implement procedures to ensure that federal guidance is followed relating to suspension and disbarment and provide training on these procedures. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
