Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") is a supplementary schedule to Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation's financial statements and is presented for purposes of additional analysis. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the activities of Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation, it is not intended to and does not present either the financial position, results of operations, or changes in net assets of the Corporation.
Reporting entity: The reporting entity is fully described in the notes to financial statements. The schedule includes all federal programs administered by the Corporation for the year ended June 30, 2025. Basis of presentation: The accompanying schedule includes the federal award activity of Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation, under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in the schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administration Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the authority, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Corporation. Federal financial assistance: Pursuant to the Single Audit Act and the Uniform Guidance, federal financial assistance is defined as assistance provided by a federal agency, either directly or indirectly, in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, loans, loan guarantees, property, interest subsidies, insurance, or direct apropriations. Accordingly, non-monetary federal assistance, including federal surplus property, is included in federal financial assistance, and therefore, is reported on the schedule, if applicable. Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash assistance to individuals. Solicited contracts between an entity and the federal government for which the federal government procures tangible goods or services are not considered to be federal financial assistance. Major programs: The Single Audit Act and the Uniform Guidance establish criteria to be used in defining major programs. Major programs for Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation are those programs selected for testing by the auditor using a risk-assessment model, as well as certain minimum expenditure requirements, as outlined in the Uniform Guidance. Programs with similar requirements may be grouped into a cluster for testing purposes. Basis of accounting: Federal awards are reported using the accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recorded when earned and expenses are recorded at the time liabilities are incurred. 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. Insurance coverage: For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025, the Corporation had insurance coverage in effect comparable to other entities of similiar size and circumstance. Indirect cost rate: Greater Eastern Oregon Development Corporation uses the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

Finding Details

Criteria or specific requirement (including statutory, regulatory, or other citation): GEODC is required to annually report to the Economic Development Administration on the EDA Cares RLF. Amounts reported should agree to underlying financial data and be reported within the correct financial categories as determined by the EDA. Condition: Multiple amounts reported on the June 30, 2024 ED-209 RLF Financial Report were either incorrect, or incorrectly reported. Cause: GEODC's reporting procedure is to have at least two employees involved in the reporting process. One employee prepares the report, while a second authorized employee reviews and submits the report. At some point in this process, errors were made in either the reporting process, the reviewing process, or both. Effect: This resulted in the June 30, 2024 EDA Cares RLF annual reporting being incorrect and out of compliance. Context: This condition has resulted in a significant deficiency reported in the audit reporting package. Recommendation: We recommend that employees involved in the reporting process review form ED-209 reporting rules and regulations. It is also recommended that any incorrect reports filed with the EDA be corrected prior to the submission of the June 30, 2025 report. Corrective Action Taken: As recommended, GEODC will review it's reporting process and correct any filings that are incorrect and out of compliance.
