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 the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance for all awards. Under these principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: Y Rate Explanation: The auditee has elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Better Health Together under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 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 Better Health Together, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Better Health Together.

Finding Details

Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 200.303 specifies that a nonfederal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the nonfederal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition: BHT did not have policies and procedures in place to ensure all the requirements of subrecipient monitoring were being performed. Context: Of the five subrecipients selected for testing (there were seven in the population), we noted that limited subrecipient monitoring procedures were performed. Cause: Policies and procedures were not in place to provide adequate subrecipient monitoring. Effect: BHT could pass through federal funding to subrecipients who do not have the internal policies and controls in place to properly manage the federal funding. Repeat Finding: Yes. Prior year finding 2021-003. Recommendation: We recommend that BHT implements policies and procedures to perform subrecipient monitoring.
