Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following cost principles in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Coastal Harvest has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance for the year ended June 30, 2024. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Coastal Harvest 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 Coastal Harvest, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Coastal Harvest.

Finding Details

Finding 2024-002
Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Assistance Listing Numbers: 10.565, 10.568, and 10.569 Federal Program Names: Food Distribution Cluster Pass-through Entity: Washington State Department of Agriculture Pass-through Award Number: K4742, K4728 Criteria: Special tests and provisions for the Food Distribution Cluster program require the non-federal entity maintains accurate and complete records with respect to the receipt, distribution/use, and inventory of USDA food commodities donations. Condition: Coastal Harvest did not have sufficient records of its USDA food inventory balances and activity as of and for the year ended June 30, 2024. As amounts and activity for the year could not be substantiated, we have qualified our opinion on this program. Cause: As a result of the coronavirus outbreak in early 2020 and the continued economic impacts to the community, Coastal Harvest experienced rapid and significant operational growth including an influx of USDA food commodities donations. Further, the Organization previously followed the modified cash basis of accounting under which inventory was not recognized in the financial statements. Effect: Coastal Harvest was not in compliance with recordkeeping requirements for the major federal program. Questioned Costs: Indeterminable. Repeat Finding: Yes, finding number 2023-005. Recommendation: We recommend that management implements a tracking system that sufficiently identifies receipts, distribution/use, and inventory on hand of USDA foods. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the finding.
