Notes to SEFA

Title: NOTE E – SUBRECIPIENTS Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Harrison County (the County’s) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information on this Schedule is prepared 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 County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures may or may not be allowable or may be limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The County passes certain federal awards received from the U. S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to other governments or not-for-profit agencies (subrecipients). As Note B describes, the County reports expenditures of Federal awards to subrecipients when paid in cash. As a subrecipient, the County has certain compliance responsibilities, such as monitoring its subrecipients to help assure they use these subawards as authorized by laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements, and that subrecipients achieve the award’s performance goals.
Title: NOTE D - MATCHING REQUIREMENTS Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Harrison County (the County’s) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information on this Schedule is prepared 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 County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures may or may not be allowable or may be limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Certain Federal programs require the County to contribute non-Federal funds (matching funds) to support the Federally-funded programs. The County has met its matching requirements. The Schedule does not include the expenditure of non-Federal matching funds.

Finding Details

2 CFR § 200.331 requires a pass-through entity to clearly identify to the subrecipient: (1) the award as a subaward at the time of subaward by providing the information described in 2 CFR section 200.331(a)(1); (2) all requirements imposed by the pass-through entity on the subrecipient so that the Federal award is used in accordance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the award; and (3) any additional requirements that the pass-through entity imposes on the subrecipient in order for the pass-through entity to meet its own responsibilities for the Federal award. The Harrison County Department of Job and Family Services (HCDJFS) did not have proper internal controls in place to ensure subrecipient monitoring was properly performed. HCDJFS contracted with a subrecipient to provide services related to its Comprehensive Case Management Employment Program (CCMEP) of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) federal grant. The HCDJFS did not perform necessary monitoring procedures under the Uniform Guidance over this subrecipient. Failure to adequately monitor subrecipients increases the risk that subrecipients may not properly utilize federal funds or adhere to program requirements. The Harrison County Department of Job and Family Services should review the Uniform Guidance in 2 CFR part 200, which lists its responsibilities as a pass-through entity, establish and maintain its own internal control procedures over compliance with grant requirements, and create a subrecipient monitoring policy to meet the Uniform Guidance audit requirements. The HCDJFS should also document its subrecipient monitoring controls and reviews and maintain the documentation over the monitoring over its subrecipient.
