Notes to SEFA

Title: Sub-Recipients Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards and other financial assistance (the “Schedule”) includes the federal and state award activity of People Inc. under programs of the federal governments 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 Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Northeast Indiana Works, Inc., it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of People Inc. Expenditures reported on the Schedule 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 as to reimbursement. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: People Inc. has not elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance, and instead has an approved provisional indirect rate with the Department of Health and Human Services. People Inc. does not have any sub-recipients of federal awards.

Finding Details

Finding 2024 002: Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Condition: During our audit, Wipfli LLP noted there were certain federal grants received from pass through entities that were inadvertently excluded from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Criteria: Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200, section 510) states the auditee must prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended. Cause: The internal controls of People Inc. did not identify all federal awards to be included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards prior to the audit. Effect: As a result of the financial reporting matters identified in the condition paragraph, a significant deficiency exists in People Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting. Recommendation: We recommend People Inc. continue to implement procedures to provide sufficient internal control over the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. View of Responsible Officials: PINC management acknowledges the inadvertent exclusion of some funds from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards due to a CFO transition and outdated accounting system, but emphasizes that no fraud or misuse occurred, with discrepancies promptly resolved, and is actively implementing a new accounting system to ensure future compliance and improve reporting accuracy.
