Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of the Marcellus Community Schools (the “School District”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the School District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the School District.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the School District's financial statements. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where applicable and have been identified in the Schedule. Cash received is recorded on the cash basis; expenditures are recorded on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized when the qualifying expenditures have been included and all grant requirements have been met. The Schedule has been arranged to provide information on both the actual cash received and the revenue recognized. Accordingly, the effects of accruals of accounts receivable, unearned revenue, and accounts payable items at both the beginning and the end of the fiscal year have been reported. Expenditures are in agreement with amounts reported in the financial statements and the grant financial reports. The amounts on the Grant Auditor Report reconcile with this Schedule. The School District has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimus indirect cost rate to recover indirect costs as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The value of the noncash assistance received was determined in accordance with the provisions of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. The grantee received no noncash assistance during the year ended June 30, 2025 that is not included on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards.
Federal sources revenue reported in the fund financial statements of $1,093,165 reconcile with the federal expenditures reported in the Schedule.

Finding Details

Finding Type: Immaterial Noncompliance, Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria: Time and effort must be supported by documentation that reflects actual work performed. Condition/Finding: During our audit procedures over the District’s payroll process, we noted that an employee’s wages were allocated to the food service function based on a straight percentage instead actual work performed. Cause: This condition is the result of management not recognizing the importance of establishing such controls. Effect: As a result of this condition, the District does not have proper controls in place over its procedures for allocation of wages. Recommendation: We recommend that the District utilize timecards to support the allocation of wages to federal functions. View of Responsible Officials (Corrective Action): See corrective action plan.
