Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activity of all federal award programs of Educate Maine. All federal awards received directly from federal agencies as well as federal awards passed through other governmental agencies are included on the schedule. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Educate Maine, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Educate Maine.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards is presented using the accrual basis of accounting. Educate Maine has elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

Finding Details

Condition and Context: As listed in Uniform Guidance §200.512, Report Submission, an organization is required to submit their audit reporting package within the earlier of thirty days of receiving the auditor’s report, or nine months after the end of the audit period. The audit reporting package for the year ended December 31, 2023 has not yet been submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse. Criteria: Submission of reports and reporting package by required due dates is an important element in contract monitoring. Cause: The Organization was unaware of the federal funding element related to some of their funding passed through other organizations. Effect: The Organization has not yet submitted its audit reporting package for the previous year. Recommendation: Internal controls should be reevaluated to provide a structure which will facilitate timely preparation of the Organization’s Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and monitoring of this process to ensure timely recognition of the requirement in a given year for a Single Audit. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding and is working on submission of the federal reporting package for the year ended December 31, 2023. The submission of the December 31, 2024 federal reporting package will be completed prior to its due date.
