Notes to SEFA

Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: The accompanying Schedule includes the federal grant activity of the Agency and is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the OMB Uniform Guidance. Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the consolidated financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The Agency elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as covered in 2 CFR §200.414. Uniform Guidance, §200.510(6), requires the Agency to disclose whether or not it elected to use the 10% de minimis cost rate that §200.414(f) allows for nonfederal entities that have never received a negotiated cost rate. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) presents the activity of all federal awards programs of Opening Doors, Inc. (the Agency) 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 (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance).

The program titles and ALN numbers were obtained from the federal or pass-through grantor or the 2023 Assistance Listing Numbers. When no ALN number had been assigned to a program, the two-digit federal agency identifier and the federal contract number were used.

Condition: During our single audit procedures, 100% of our suspension and debarment samples selected did not contain sufficient documentation detailing the Organization’s process for determining the vendor was not suspended nor debarred prior to participating in the transaction. Context: A nonstatistical sample of 6 out of 21 vendors were selected for testing for the Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs program. The condition noted above was identified during our procedures over ODI's Suspension and Debarment. Effect: ODI did not verify suspension or debarment status, which could result in entering into a contract with a vendor, which is potentially suspended or debarred. Cause: ODI did not consistently ensure that Suspension or Debarment status was verified before entering into agreements with the vendors. Repeat Finding: The finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that ODI strengthen its current policies and procedures to ensure that Suspension and Debarment Status is verified for vendors subject to verification according to ODI's Procurement policy, prior to entering into a contract with the vendor. Management’s Views: Management notes that debarment checks performed post transactions confirmed that no vendors were suspended or debarred. Management takes responsibility for the finding and believes that in future years, they will be able to implement proper controls to mitigate this finding.

Condition: During our single audit procedures of allowable costs, six employees had pay rates that could not be substantiated via evidence of approval on an approved wage rate change form. Questioned Costs: Known $14,112 Likely $553,607 Context: A nonstatistical sample of 16 out > 250 pay periods were selected for testing for the Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs program. The condition noted above was identified during our procedures over ODI's Allowable Costs & Activities (payroll). Effect: ODI did not retain documentation of wage rate change approvals, which could result in unapproved increases in wage rate changes being charged to the grant. Cause: ODI has a control designed to approve wage rate changes. However, documentation of approval could not be located. Repeat Finding: The finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that ODI strengthen its current policies and procedures to ensure that documentation is retained for approval of all wage rate changes. Management’s Views: Management takes responsibility for the finding and believes that in future years, they will be able to implement proper controls to mitigate this finding.

Condition: During our single audit procedures, 100% of our suspension and debarment samples selected did not contain sufficient documentation detailing the Organization’s process for determining the vendor was not suspended nor debarred prior to participating in the transaction. Context: A nonstatistical sample of 6 out of 21 vendors were selected for testing for the Refugee and Entrant Assistance Voluntary Agency Programs program. The condition noted above was identified during our procedures over ODI's Suspension and Debarment. Effect: ODI did not verify suspension or debarment status, which could result in entering into a contract with a vendor, which is potentially suspended or debarred. Cause: ODI did not consistently ensure that Suspension or Debarment status was verified before entering into agreements with the vendors. Repeat Finding: The finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that ODI strengthen its current policies and procedures to ensure that Suspension and Debarment Status is verified for vendors subject to verification according to ODI's Procurement policy, prior to entering into a contract with the vendor. Management’s Views: Management notes that debarment checks performed post transactions confirmed that no vendors were suspended or debarred. Management takes responsibility for the finding and believes that in future years, they will be able to implement proper controls to mitigate this finding.
