Finding Details

Second Harvest values inventory based on historical Feeding America rates applied to the weight of the food received from TEFAP. This estimation of value is recorded to be the actual value of donated product as report by the states of Missouri and Kansas using an entry to record differences to inventory adjustment accounts. The subledger, Primarius, is not reconciled to the actual values of donated product as reported to Second Harvest by the states of Missouri and Kansas in sufficient detail to ensure the ongoing completeness and accuracy of the subledger.

Overhead costs and payroll are not appropriately allocated amongst the activities of Second Harvest. Instead, costs such as utilities, phone, lawn service, repairs and maintenance and payroll are 100% allocated to TEFAP. Additionally, timesheet support for payroll allocated to the federal program was not maintaind in sufficient detail to support the allocation.
Second Harvest considers procurement procedures for vendors based on individual invoices, rather than based on total contract expenditures. As such, not all vendors were evaluated in accordance with Second Harvest’s procurement policy.
Expenditures reported on the SEFA for meal reimbursement programs, including Summer Food service program (SFSP) and Child and Adult Food Care program (CACFP), are less than the federal funding received as the Organization does not track and allocate expenditures in sufficient detail to identify program specific costs. The Organization asserts that expenditures are sufficient to exceed the funding received, but documentation to support this assertion is not available.
