Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presents the activity of all federal financial assistance programs of the Hidden Valley Lake Community Services District, California (District). The District’s reporting entity is defined in Note 1 to the District’s basic financial statements. All federal awards received directly from federal agencies as well as federal awards passed through other government agencies are included on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The information in this Schedule is presented in accordance with the 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 of the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the District
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures or expenses are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting for grants accounted for in the governmental fund types and the accrual basis of accounting for grants accounted for in the proprietary fund types, as described in the notes to the District financial statements. 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 reimbursements. In addition, the outstanding balance of prior years’ loans that have significant continuing compliance requirements have been included in total federal expenditures.
The District has elected not to use the 15 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
The amounts reported in the accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards agree or can be reconciled with amounts reported in the related federal financial assistance reports.
The amounts reported in the accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards agree or can be reconciled with amounts reported in the District’s basic financial statements.
When federal awards were received from a pass-through entity, the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards shows, if available, the identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity. When no identifying number is shown, the District determined that no identifying number is assigned for the program or the District was unable to obtain an identifying number from the pass-through entity.

Finding Details

Name: Hazard Mitigation Grant; CFDA#: 97.039; Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Homeland Security; Pass-Through Entity: State Emergency Management Agency; Award No.: Various; Yea: 2024-25; Compliance Requirement: Other Criteria Internal control over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) requires that the District provide accurate Federal expenditure information timely. Condition During our testing of major programs, we noted that the SEFA provided by the District at the beginning of audit fieldwork contained errors in the federal expenditures. Expenditures included on the SEFA provided at the beginning of the audit were more than actual expenditures by $198,967 in the major program listed above. CauseThe District did not provide accurate information to include on the SEFA that was provided to us at the beginning of the audit. Effect The SEFA provided at the beginning of fieldwork was not materially correct and adjustments were needed to accurately reflect all Federal expenditures. Questioned Cost No questioned costs were identified as a result of our procedures. Context The condition noted above was identified during our procedures related to reporting of the program. Repeat Finding This is a repeat of prior year finding 2024-001. Recommendation We recommend that the District provide accurate federal expenditure information prior to the beginning of audit fieldwork.
