Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the City of Upper Sandusky, Wyandot County, Ohio (the City) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2024. The information on this Schedule is prepared 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 City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or changes in net position of the City.
Certain Federal programs require the City to contribute non-Federal funds (matching funds) to support the Federally-funded programs. The City has met its matching requirements. The Schedule does not include the expenditure of non-Federal matching funds.

Finding Details

2 CFR § 3002 gives regulatory effect to the Department of Homeland Security for 2 C.F.R. § 200.329(c) which states, in part, reports submitted annually by the non-Federal entity and/or pass-through entity must be due no later than 90 calendar days after the reporting period. Reports submitted quarterly or semiannually must be due no later than 30 calendar days after the reporting period. The final performance report submitted by the non-Federal entity and/or pass through entity must be due no later than 120 calendar days after the period of performance end date. Due to deficiencies in policies and procedures over reporting compliance we noted the following: • The required Programmatic Performance Report (PPR) for the period of July 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 was not submitted on the FEMA Go website; • The required Federal Financial Report (SF-425) for the period of January 1, 2024 through June 30, 2024 was not submitted on the FEMA Go website; and • Two of the three required Federal Financial Reports (SF-425) were submitted after the due date (one three days late, one over four months late). Failure to prepare and submit federal grant reports could result in the City not receiving the reimbursements that it is entitled to. The City should implement policies and procedures to help ensure that federal grant reports are completed and submitted by the required date.
