Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Village of Rockville Centre, New York (Village) under programs of the federal government for the year ended May 31, 2025. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of the Comptroller General of the United States and 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). The purpose of the Schedule is to present a summary of those activities of the Village funded by the federal government or pass-through entities for the year ended May 31, 2025 using the modified accrual basis of accounting. For purposes of the Schedule, federal awards include assistance provided by a federal agency directly or indirectly in the form of grants, contracts, cooperative agreements, loans and loan guarantees, and other non-cash assistance. Negative amounts, if any, on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made to prior-year expenditures in the normal course of business.
Federal award revenues are reported in the Village’s financial statements as federal aid. The Village’s financial statements are presented using the accrual basis of accounting. The Schedule presents only a select portion of the activities of the Village. It is not intended to, and does not, present the financial position, statement of activities, or other changes in net assets of the Village.
Expenditures for direct and indirect costs are recognized as incurred using the accrual method of accounting and in accordance with Office of Management and Budget Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments, or the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance. Under those cost principles, certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The Village has elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Matching costs represent the Village’s share of certain program costs and are not included in the Schedule.
There were no federal awards expended in the form of non-cash assistance by the Village during the year ended May 31, 2025.
The Village had no federal loans or federal loan guarantees outstanding as of May 31, 2025.
The Village did not participate in any federal insurance programs during the year ended May 31, 2025.
The Village did not provide any funding to subrecipients during the year ended May 31, 2025.

Finding Details

Section III. Federal Award Findings and Questioned Costs 2025-002: Record Retention and Accuracy Housing Choice Vouchers - 14.871 Criteria or specific requirement (including statutory, regulatory, or other citation): Utility allowances paid to recipients should be in accordance with approved utility rates. Condition and context: Of 40 program benefits tested for 2025, the following exceptions were noted: • Three instances whereby the utility allowance calculated a different amount than the actual payment. Variances between the HAP and utility calculations and amounts paid ranged from $17 to $95. Cause: Inconsistency in the application of established Village policies and procedures principally due to staffing challenges and the volume of transactions. Effect or potential effect: Without proper documentation to demonstrate the propriety of benefits issued, benefits may be issued in amounts that are incorrect. Questioned costs: None. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: Repeated, see finding 2024-002. Recommendation: Management should enhance procedures to ensure that the utility calculations match the actual payments to ensure accuracy. Views of responsible officials: As detailed in the Corrective Action Plan, management has agreed to the findings and recommendations above.
