Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal grant activity and is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the audit 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, it is not intended to and does not present the net position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the entity.
Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowed or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. The entity has not elected to use the ten percent de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under Uniform Guidance, due to the fact that they already have a negotiated indirect cost rate with Oregon Department of Education, and thus is not allowed to use the de minimus rate.

Finding Details

SA-2025-01 FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM: 84.010 Title I SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT: Employees funded with Title I grant funds should document their time worked for the grant in line with time and effort requirements of the grant. CONDITION: During our testing of Title I, we noted that the District did not document time and effort for seven instances out of our sample. QUESTIONED COSTS: None noted CONTEXT: The finding is limited to the expenditures described in the condition. EFFECT: The District was not in compliance with federal government regulations regarding Title I time and effort for employees. CAUSE: The District did not consistently meet Title I time and effort documentation requirements for certain employees during the audit period. This occurred due to staffing changes and turnover within the federal grant which resulted in retro pay and funding corrections, which resulted in inconsistent time and effort documentation. In addition, there was a lack of centralized oversight to ensure that time and effort records were completed timely and retained in accordance with federal requirements. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the District review federal regulations upon hiring and running payroll for Title I employees to ensure that they have proper documentation to be in compliance with the regulations. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS: The District has taken steps to strengthen compliance with Title I time and effort requirements. Management is currently reviewing current staffing assignments and identifying which positions require time and effort documentation based on funding sources to confirm accurate future reporting. Clear written procedures are being updated to include identifying this gap in required documentation. Responsibility for monitoring compliance has been assigned to designated staff within the business office, and periodic reviews will be conducted to ensure completeness and accuracy. Training will be provided to applicable employees and supervisors to reinforce federal requirements and expectations.
