Notes to SEFA

The Agency for Community Empowerment of NEPA (ACENEPA) is a private nonprofit organization whose primary purpose is to mobilize human and financial resources to combat poverty. The Agency provides a broad range of direct services for the advocacy on behalf of low-income residents. Its programs include child day care, job training and employment services, energy conservation programs, crisis intervention, and food and shelter services.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards includes the federal and state grant activities of ACENEPA under programs of the federal and state governments for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. This schedule reflects federal and state expenditures for all individual grants which were active during the fiscal year. ACENEPA's federally funded grants are audited in accordance with Title 2 U. S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards includes all significant federally and state funded programs of ACENEPA and has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Various reimbursement procedures are used for Federal and State awards received by ACENEPA. Timing differences may occur between expenditures and reimbursements during a year. Accrued revenues at year-end represent an excess of expenditures over cash reimbursements received. Deferred revenues at year-end represent an excess of cash received over eligible program expenditures. Generally, accrued and deferred amounts caused by timing differences will be reversed in the subsequent year.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania distributes federal surplus food to institutes and to the needy. Expenditures reported in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards under ALN # 10.569 - Value of USDA Commodities represent surplus food distributed by ACENEPA for the period July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025

Finding Details

2025-001 Incomplete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards. Condition: The following three (3) federal awards from the US Department of Treasury were not reported on the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2025, Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards (SEFA): COVID-19 State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN#21.027). Expenditures totaling $134,144 passed through the City of Scranton, PA. COVID-19 State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN#21.027). Expenditures totaling $237,238 passed through Lackawanna County, PA. COVID-19 State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (ALN#21.027). Expenditures totaling $52,882 passed through Lackawanna County, PA. Criteria: Uniform guidance requires that Federal Awards that are expended in a fiscal year are to be reported on the entity's SEFA. Cause: The Agency failed to identify and track Federal funding received during the fiscal year-ended June 30, 2025. Effect: The SEFA was misstated and did not accurately reflect the Agency's federal expenditures for the fiscal-year ended June 30, 2025. As a result, although the identification of Major Federal Programs was not affected, the omission could have impacted the scope of the Single Audit. Recommendation: The Agency should implement procedures to ensure that all Federal Awards are indentified and included on the SEFA. Procedures should include a thorough review by the Controller of all grant awards to identify which include Federal Funding. Response: The Agency agrees with the finding. Recommended procedures will be implemented.
