Finding Details

Finding 2024-003 – Reporting Name of Federal Agency: Department of Labor- Federal Program Name and Assistance Listing Number: YouthBuild Program -17.274 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: YB-38231-22-60-A-36 May 02, 2022 through September 01, 2025. Criteria In accordance with the Funding Opportunity Announcement, the Company is required to provide and expend cash, in-kind or third party resources equivalent to exactly 25 percent of the grant award amount as "matching" funds. Match can be in the form of cash, in-kind contributions and third-party contributions and must meet the requirement found at 2 CFR 200.306, 2 CFR 200.403, 2 CFR 200.434, and 2 CFR 2900.8. 2 CFR 2900.8 requires that match is recognized at the time in which the funds are expended. The matching funds are required to be reported in the quarterly financial reports submitted by the Company. Condition The Company did not record in-kind matching funds contributions and related expense for the year ending June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company did not report their in-kind matching funds contributions or the related expenses on the quarterly financial report to the Department of Labor. Cause Internal controls over reporting of in-kind contributions and in-kind expenses were not operating effectively. Effect This resulted in an understatement of revenue and expense of $702,250 for the year ending June 30, 2024. In addition, the Company was not in compliance with the reporting requirements of the YouthBuild program. Questioned Costs N/A. Context A sample of 2 financial reports out of 2 financial reports required during the year ended June 30, 2024 did not report the in-kind contribution of matching funds. Identification as a Repeat Finding This finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend that management reviews its internal controls over reporting of the ETA-9130 Financial Report to ensure complete and accurate reports. Additionally, we recommend that management strengthens its policies and procedures to ensure proper recognition and recording of revenue from in-kind contributions and related expenses. Views of Responsible Officials The Crenulated will request a quarterly in-kind contribution report from DOE and will ensure the in-kind contributions are recorded in the financial statements. The Crenulated plans to hire an in-house
