Finding Details

Finding 2024-001 - Activities Allowed or Unallowed & Allowable Costs/Cost Principles (Internal Control over Compliance/Compliance) ALN No.: 93.696 - Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic Expansion Grants Award Year: January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024 Federal Agency: United States Department of Health and Human Services Pass Through Entity: Not applicable Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200.303(a) of the Uniform Guidance requires all non-Federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal awards in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal awards. In addition, 2 CFR section 200.405 requires federal awards be expended only for allowable activities. Condition/Context: South Shore made a clerical error in calculating allocated payroll amount claimed for one selection tested out of 60 selections leading to an error of $108. The sampling method was nonstatistical sampling. Cause: There was no proper review and oversight over the individual preparing the monthly claims for reimbursement. Effect: South Shore has not complied with the specific requirements for activities allowed or unallowed and allowable costs/cost principles as described in the Uniform Guidance. Unallowable costs were charged to the federal program. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: South Shore should enhance its internal control processes related to preparation and review of the monthly claim for reimbursement.
