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. BCHN has not elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance because it is not applicable. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal award activity of Bronx Community Health Network, Inc. ("BCHN") under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 BCHN, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of BCHN.

Criteria Under the requirements of the FFATA (Pub. L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Pub. L.

Effect The FFATA reporting was not submitted timely to the FSRS. Questioned Costs None Context A single subaward was made to the subawardee. Identification as Repeat Finding No Recommendation We recommend that management create an e-mail reminder or other alert mechanism and implement controls to ensure compliance with the reporting requirements under FFATA.
