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, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: ASYMCA has elected to not use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Armed Services YMCA of the USA and Branches (ASYMCA) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 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 (the Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of ASYMCA, it is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of ASYMCA.

Finding Details

Finding 2024-001 Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Agency and Award: Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Program: Economic Development Imitative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants Assistance Listing Number: 14.251 Federal Award Identification Number: B-23-CP-CA-0141 Criteria: 2 CFR 200.318 states non-federal entities must have and use documented procurement procedures that conform to 2 CFR 200.317 through 200.327. They must use their own documented procedures, which reflect applicable state and local laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable federal statutes and procurement requirements identified in 2 CFR Part 200. These standards require non-federal entities to maintain written procedures for procurement transactions to ensure full and open competition, proper cost analysis, and avoidance of conflicts of interest. Condition and context: ASMYCA does not have an internal procurement policy established. Without a formal procurement policy, ASYMCA lacks a consistent framework for vendor selection, contract negotiation, and cost justification. Cause: ASYMCA’s management did not retain evidence in compliance with the above criteria regarding procurement. Effect: ASYMCA’s documentation was lacking evidence of an internal procurement policy. This may lead to inconsistent procurement practices, potential favoritism, increased risk of unallowable costs, or overpayment for goods and services. Questioned costs: None Repeat finding: No Recommendation: ASYMCA develop and implement a formal procurement policy as soon as possible. Views of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with this finding and a response is included in the corrective action plan.
