Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: Significant accounting policies Basis of presentation The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Federal financial assistance Pursuant to the Uniform Guidance, federal financial assistance is defined as assistance provided by a federal agency, either directly or indirectly, in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, loans, loan guarantees, property, interest subsidies, insurance, or direct appropriations. Accordingly, non-monetary federal assistance, including federal surplus property, is included in federal financial assistance and, therefore, is reported on the schedule, if applicable. Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash assistance to individuals. Solicited contracts between the state and federal government for which the federal government procures tangible goods or services are not considered to be federal financial assistance. Major programs The Uniform Guidance establishes criteria to be used in defining major federal financial assistance programs. Major programs for the county are those programs selected for testing by the auditor using a risk-assessment model, as well as certain minimum expenditure requirements, as outlined in the Uniform Guidance. Programs with similar requirements may be grouped into a cluster for testing purposes. Reporting entity The reporting entity is fully described in the notes to financial statements. The schedule includes all federal programs administered by the county for the year ended June 30, 2022. Revenue and expenditure recognition The receipt and expenditure of federal awards are accounted for using the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when measurable and available. Expenditures are recorded when a liability is incurred. Indirect Cost Rate The county has not elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County did not elect the de minimis cost rate until FY 2024-25 and in prior years elected to utilize a negotiated rate

Finding Details

Identification of the federal program: Assistance Listing Number 10.665 & 10.666 – Forest Service Schools and Rods Cluster, Department of Agriculture. Pass through entity: Department of Agriculture. Compliance Requirements Applicable to the Finding: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance with federal program requirements and noncompliance material to the program in accordance with 2 CFR 200.516(a). Questioned Costs: We are reporting no known or likely questioned costs. Criteria: Recipients are required to submit an annual certification of Title III expenditures and unobligated funds no later than February 1 of the year after the year in which Title III funds were expended. For the 2024 fiscal year, the certification was due by February 1, 2024. Condition and Context: Testing revealed that the annual certification was submitted on July 16, 2024, after the February 1, 2024 deadline. Cause: Turnover of main county management resulted in delays in gathering and submitting the required reporting. Controls were not in place to address succession planning for the duties of the responsible officials to ensure deadlines were met regardless of turnover. Effect: The late submission resulted in noncompliance with the federal program. Recommendation: The county staff and management should review roles and responsibilities related to the annual reporting requirements and develop controls to ensure that regardless of position turnover, the required reporting is able to be submitted in a timely manner. This may include ensuring multiple county personnel are aware of deadlines and required reporting. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The county understands and concurs with this finding. The county will employ a system to ensure timely reporting that includes additional oversite of the program by the County administration. The position responsible for reporting has also undergone turnover and the new employee responsible for such reporting will be informed of the required deadlines
