Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of The Coleridge Initiative, Inc. under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information in the 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 (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of The Coleridge Initiative, Inc., it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changed in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.
The Coleridge Initiative, Inc. has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance but is subject instead to previous negotiated indirect cost rates.

Finding Details

Finding 2024-001 - Significant Deficiency - Direct Cost Allocation Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.405(d), if a cost benefits two or more projects or activities in proportions that can be determined without undue effort or cost, the cost must be allocated to the projects based on the proportional benefit. Condition: The Organization improperly allocated certain direct costs to its grant awards during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Cause: The Organizations allocation calculation for certain direct costs did not properly allocate these costs across the projects that were benefitted. Effect: Expenses charged to projects were under-allocated in comparison to the actual time and effort spent on those projects. Recommendation: We recommend that management review their current allocation methods to ensure the expense attibutable to each project is being calculated and recorded correctly.
