Criteria Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Subtitle A, Chapter II, Part 200, Subpart D, Cost Principles for Non-Profit Organizations, Section 200.305 (b1) states “Advance payments to a recipient or subrecipient must be limited to the minimum amounts needed and be timed with actual, immediate cash requirements of the recipient or subrecipient in carrying out the purpose of the approved program or project. The timing and amount of advance payments must be as close is administratively feasible to the actual disbursements by the recipient or subrecipient for direct program or project costs and the proportionate share of any allowable indirect costs.” Additionally, as noted in the terms of the grant agreements, “requests for payment must be submitted on Standard Form 270 (SF-270) Request for Advance or Reimbursement, and must be submitted no more than monthly.” Condition We noted several instances throughout the audit where management had drawn advances on federal awards which exceeded actual federal award expenditures in the same period. Also, while the Organization did submit requests for funds using the SF-270, each SF-270 was submitted as requesting reimbursement, when several were actually requesting advances. Cause of Condition The Organization’s internal controls are not properly designed to be in line with Federal guidelines, particularly, CFR 200.305. Additionally, the Organization lacked proper internal controls to review and approve each SF-270. Repeat Finding No. Effect of Condition The Organization was not in compliance with cash management compliance requirements as stated in 2 CFR 200.305.

We also recommend management implement processes and procedures to review each SF-270 form and verify whether the request is an advancement or reimbursement request. We recommend management document the expenditures associated with each reimbursement request, when applicable.
