Notes to SEFA

Title: NOTE A - Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the cash basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance wherein certain types of expenditures may or may not be allowable or may be limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Village has elected not 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 the Village of New Waterford (the Village) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2023. The information on this Schedule is prepared 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 the Village, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or changes in net position of the Village.

Finding Details

2 CFR Subpart F § 200.510(b) requires the auditee prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) for the period covered by the Village’s financial statements which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with § 200.502. The Village was not aware federal monies were expended and therefore did not complete a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards or Notes to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.  As a result, the Village did not properly notify the Auditor of State's office of the Village's Single Audit status for 2023.  After several discussions with Village personnel, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and Notes to the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal awards were completed.
Uniform Guidance requires written policies for the requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.302(b)(7), 2 CFR 200.318(c)(1), 2 CFR 200.318(c)(2), 2 CFR 200.320(b)(2), and 2 CFR 200.319(d). The Village does not have written policies in place for the requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations sections referenced above.
2 CFR § 1000 gives regulatory effect to the United States Department of Treasury for 2 CFR § 200.328 and 200.329(c)(1) which states, in part, that unless otherwise approved by OMB, the Federal awarding agency must solicit only the OMB-approved governmentwide data elements for collection of financial information at time of publication the Federal Financial Report or such future, OMB-approved, governmentwide data elements available from the OMB-designated standards lead. This information must be collected with the frequency required by the terms and conditions of the Federal award, but no less frequently than annually nor more frequently than quarterly. Testing over the Village's quarterly reporting requirements for the SLFRF program identified only one quarterly report being submitted on September 9, 2022 which was prior to any SLFRF funding expenditures being made. The SLFRF funding expenditures began on February 2, 2023 with no additional quarterly reports submitted. The Village was unable to provide support to show that the Final Reporting requirement was met. Failure to timely submit the required reports to the pass-through entity could result in material noncompliance and potential loss of future funding.
