Notes to SEFA

Title: Reconciliation to Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County (the Organization) for the year ended June 30, 2022. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the same basis of accounting, the accrual basis, as the financial statements; although the basis for determining when federal awards are expended 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), wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in or used in the preparation of the financial statements. Revenue has been accrued at June 30, 2022 to match allowable expenditures incurred during the year for each program. Grant funds received in advance that are in excess of incurred costs have been reflected as deferred revenue. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The following reconciliation was prepared to meet the single audit reporting requirements of the uniform guidance. See Note 2 of the SEFA for the reconciliation.

Finding Details

Finding Type: Material weakness and noncompliance Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires a non-federal entity that has expended federal awards for a grant awarded on or after December 26, 2014 to have written policies pertaining to allowability of costs [?200.302(b)(7)], cash management payments[?200.302(b)(6)], and compensation charged to federal programs [?200.430-431], Conflict of Interest Policy [?200.318(c)], procurement procedures [?200.319(c)], conducting technical evaluations of proposals and selecting participants [?200.320(d)D(3)], and travel policy [?200.474(b)]. Condition: Formal written policies for the compliance areas identified above have not been prepared in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. Cause: This condition appears to be the result of a time lag in identifying the requirement and developing a plan for compliance. Effect: As a result of this condition, Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County did not fully comply with the Uniform Guidance. Recommendation: We recommend that Economic Development Alliance of St. Clair County ensures these policies are updated to conform with the Uniform Guidance as soon as practical, but no later than the end of fiscal year 2023. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with the finding.
