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, 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: San Diego Youth Services has elected to not use the 10 percent de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of San Diego Youth Services under programs of the federal government 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 San Diego Youth Services, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of San Diego Youth Services.

Finding Details

2024-003 - Reporting and Submission of Audited Financial Statements – Continuum of Care, Assistance Listing Number 14.267, John H. Chafee Foster Care Programs for Successful Transition to Adulthood, Assistance Listing Number 93.674 and Medicaid Cluster: Grants to States for Medicaid, Assistance Listing Number 93.778: Statement of Condition: In accordance with provisions of 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F, the filing of the data collection form and submission of audited financial statement to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse is to be completed within 9 months of the fiscal year end. The Organization did not complete the filing within 9 months of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. Criteria: The filing of the data collection form and audited financial statement are due to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within 9 months after the end of the audit period. Cause: Due to turnover in accounting staff and errors in the general ledger reconciliations, the audited financial statements were not completed timely. Effect: The required reporting was not completed until September 23, 2024. Recommendation: The Organization should put procedures in place to ensure accurate reporting of general ledger accounts so reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse can be completed within 9 months of the fiscal year end. Management Response: Management concurs with the finding. The Organization experienced significant turnover of accounting staff during the audit period, which disrupted monthly reconciliation processes and contributed to delays in finalizing the audited financial statements. These delays ultimately resulted in the late submission of required reporting to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. The corrective actions in the first finding, along with taking steps to begin the Fiscal Year 2024/2025 audit process earlier than in previous years, will allow additional time to complete the audit and meet federal filing deadlines. Management is committed to ensuring timely reporting going forward, and will monitor progress closely to ensure all future submissions are completed within the required timeframe.
