Notes to SEFA

Title: Note 3 - Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such 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. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Lane Electric Cooperative, Inc. elected to not use the 10% de minimus indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards includes the federal award activity of Lane Electric Cooperative, Inc. under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2022. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 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 Lane Electric Cooperative, Inc., it is not intended to and does not present the balance sheet, statements of revenues and margins, changes in members equity, or cash flows of Lane Electric Cooperative, Inc.

Finding Details

Identification of the federal program: 97.039 ? Hazard Mitigation Grant Program ? Department of Homeland Security Criteria: Proper oversight, review procedures and controls should be established to ensure the amounts reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) are accurate and adequately supported. Condition: Expenditures initially presented on the SEFA were misclassified as to assistance listing number and were overstated as they included overhead costs charged to the work orders which were not allowable federal expenditures. Cause: There was a lack of review of the SEFA and supporting documentation resulting in errors in the original SEFA. Effect: Corrections were required to revise the amounts reported on the SEFA. A lack of controls can result in errors not being caught in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: None Recommendations: Lane Electric Cooperative, Inc. should establish oversight and review procedures to ensure the amounts reported on the SEFA are accurate. Views of responsible officials: Lane Electric Cooperative, Inc acknowledges the requirement to establish specific controls related to federal programs to ensure the accurate reporting of costs on the SEFA. A corrective action plan will be prepared, including the development of internal control procedures specified to allowable costs of federal programs so that only those costs are included on the SEFA.
