Notes to SEFA

Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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: The Organization has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes federal award activity of the Organization under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2024. The information in the 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 this schedule only presents a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the consolidated financial position, changes in net assets, functional expenses, or cash flows of the Organization.
Title: PASS-THROUGH AWARDS Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards 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: The Organization has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance The Organization’s schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the presentation of amounts passed through to sub recipients of $1,447,479. These amounts were passed through to Hope Shine's Bright Holding Company Inc., which consolidates with the Organization for financial reporting purposes. While these passed through amounts eliminate upon consolidation and are not presented as part of the consolidated financial statements of the Organization, they are being included separately in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards to appropriately present amounts passed through to subrecipients.

Finding Details

System of Internal Controls Over Compliance: Subrecipient Monitoring; U.S. Department of Treasury, Assistance Listing #21.027, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Passed Through State of Nevada Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.332, the auditee must maintain a system of internal control over compliance to ensure they provide each subrecipient within the required information to identify the award and applicable requirements under the award and to evaluate risk and monitor the activities of each subrecipient to ensure compliance under the award. Condition: The Organization did not appropriately implement internal controls necessary to ensure appropriate documentation was available to support the performance of controls in compliance with 2 CFR 200.332. Context: The Organization did not identify funds being passed through from one subsidiary of the Organization to a second subsidiary in a timely manner and based on this timing did not appropriately document the performance of internal controls over the compliance for subrecipient monitoring. Cause: The Organization did not identify its only subrecipient for this award in a timely manner. Effect: The Organization was not able to properly document its performance of internal controls over most of the requirements outlined in 2 CFR 200.332 for the award based on untimely identification of its subrecipient. Recommendation: We recommend management design and implement a system of internal controls over compliance where consideration of possible subrecipients is considered when the award is being applied for and that well documented and supportable internal controls over subrecipient monitoring are implemented when there are subrecipients identified under an award. Repeat Finding: No Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: SJRC NV Region is addressing its missing controls related to the requirements of 2 CFR 200.332. We acknowledge that SJRC must ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes the information required under 2 CFR 200.332 at the time of the subaward all requirements. This includes that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes at the time of the subaward and if any data elements change, that there must be an approved subaward modification. We will also ensure we meet the requirements under 2 CFR 200.332 to include our obligations to risk assess and monitor any subrecipients. The timeframe for correction is immediate and full accounting system control improvements will be implemented as part of our 2025 fiscal year-end close.
