Notes to SEFA

The Organization incurs certain expenses, which are nonreimbursable or nonallowable under certain federal awards or state grant awards. These expenses are funded by nongrant revenues, such as patient fees, and are excluded from the schedules.
Grant monies received and disbursed by the Organization are for specific purposes and are subject to review by the grantor agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursement due to disallowed expenditures. Based upon prior experience, the Organization does not believe that such disallowances, if any, would have a material effect on the financial position of the Organization.
The Organization received a negotiated indirect cost rate for each of its federal awards; therefore, it did not elect to charge a de minimus rate of 10% for determining the indirect cost amount.
The Organization receives a substantial portion of its support from various funding sources which require a local match. These funding sources include the State of Florida Department of Children and Families and the Central Florida Behavioral Health Network, Inc (CFBHN). The Organization has satisfied the matching requirements through local grants and by incurring expenses of $2,725,344 for the CFBHN contract QG002, with a contract period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023 which ended during the year ended December 31, 2023.
As required by the granting agency, the accompanying amounts presented in the schedule of expenditures of federal awards represent the lessor of the funds received for the period of January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2022 and the period of July 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022 or the related expenditures incurred and lost revenues as reported to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the PRF Portal reporting time periods of July 1, 2023 to September 30, 2023 and January 1, 2024 to March 31. 2024.
The Organization incorrectly reported $608,091 and $1,993,015 of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (AL No. 93.558) expenditures under the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services program (AL No. 93.958) and the Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse program (AL No. 93.959), respectively. In addition, the Organization incorrectly reported $31,165 of Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with SED (AL No. 93.104) expenditures under the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services program (AL No. 93.958). As a result, the schedule of expenditures of federal awards has been restated to include the correct amounts of expenditures for these programs.

Finding Details

Federal Award Number and Award Year RW1 17, award year 3/1/2022 – 2/29/2024 for AL No. 93.914. None, award year 1/1/2022 – 12/31/2022 for AL No. 93.498. Criteria The 2 CFR section 200.303 requires that non federal entities receiving federal awards establish and maintain 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. Condition and Context For AL No. 93.914, BayCare included expenditures related to February 2024 dates of service on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). An adjustment to the final SEFA of $152,329 was required. For AL No. 93.498, BayCare initially excluded Period 5 Provider Relief Funds on the SEFA. An adjustment to the final SEFA of $9,234,533 was required. Possible Cause and Effect For AL No. 93.914, in preparing the SEFA, BayCare exported the year to date patient data which included all patients served under this program. Certain manipulation of the data is needed to include only those dates of service in 2023. In doing so, the client included dates of service in February 2024 which overstated the SEFA expenditures. For AL No. 93.498, per the compliance supplement, Period 5 and 6 payments received during 2022 were to be included on the 2023 SEFA. Due to an internal miscommunication within the BayCare team, these funds were initially excluded and thus required an adjustment to the SEFA. Questioned Costs None Statistically Valid Sample Not applicable Repeat of Prior Finding No Recommendations Management should enhance its process to include a supervisory review of the SEFA, ensuring its completeness and accuracy. View of Responsible Official Management agrees with the noted finding.

Federal Award Number and Award Year AL No. 93.958, 93.959 and 93.558, QG002 20, award year 7/1/2022 – 6/30/2024 AL No. 93.958, 93.959 and 93.558, ME015, award year 7/1/2022 – 6/30/2024 Criteria According to 2 CFR 200.510(b), a recipient of federal awards is required to prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the entity’s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR 200.502. Additionally, 2 CFR section 200.303 requires that non federal entities receiving federal awards establish and maintain 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. Condition and Context The Organization did not have adequate internal controls related to reporting of expenditures on the SEFA for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services, and Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse. Specifically, the Organization’s controls to reconcile expenditures from their internal tracking spreadsheets to the appropriate assistance listing numbers within the underlying grant/contract documentation, including the original contract and “Post Award Notices” (PAN) spreadsheets, were not operating as designed. As a result, the Organization determined that $2,601,106 of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families expenditures were incorrectly reported under the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services and Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse programs. Possible Cause and Effect In discussing the condition with the Organization’s management, they stated it was caused by the use of an outdated PAN spreadsheet, which led to expenditures being incorrectly reported on the SEFA under the wrong ALN. Additionally, management review controls over the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA were not designed to detect the error. Failure to establish effective internal controls regarding financial reporting for the preparation of the SEFA may prevent the Organization from completing an audit in accordance with the timelines of Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs None. Statistically Valid Sample Not applicable Repeat of Prior Finding No Recommendations Management should enhance its system of internal control to ensure that the SEFA is complete and accurate.

Specifically, the Organization’s controls to reconcile expenditures from their internal tracking spreadsheets to the appropriate assistance listing numbers within the underlying grant/contract documentation, including the original contract and “Post Award Notices” (PAN) spreadsheets, were not operating as designed. As a result, the Organization determined that $2,601,106 of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families expenditures were incorrectly reported under the Block Grants for Community Mental Health Services and Block Grants for Prevention and Treatment of Substance Abuse programs. Possible Cause and Effect In discussing the condition with the Organization’s management, they stated it was caused by the use of an outdated PAN spreadsheet, which led to expenditures being incorrectly reported on the SEFA under the wrong ALN. Additionally, management review controls over the completeness and accuracy of the SEFA were not designed to detect the error. Failure to establish effective internal controls regarding financial reporting for the preparation of the SEFA may prevent the Organization from completing an audit in accordance with the timelines of Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs None. Statistically Valid Sample Not applicable Repeat of Prior Finding No Recommendations Management should enhance its system of internal control to ensure that the SEFA is complete and accurate. View of Responsible Official Management agrees with the noted finding.
