Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (“the Schedule”) includes the grant activity of Reimagining Justice Inc. under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2023. The information in the 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 Reimagining Justice Inc., it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of Reimagining Justice Inc.
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.
Reimagining Justice Inc. has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. Indirect costs, if charged, are based on rates approved by the respective awarding agencies or are not charged at all.

Finding Details

Condition Found The reporting package and data collection form for the September 2023 audit was not filed by the June 30, 2024 deadline. This is a repeat of Finding 2022-001 from the September 2022 audit. Effect RJI was in violation of 2 CFR Section 200.512(a). Cause The Single Audit was not completed timely for several reasons, including limited financial resources, and multiple transitions in external audit providers between 2023 and 2025 including prior auditor-initiated terminations and capacity constraints. Criteria Uniform Guidance and 2022 Compliance Supplement, 2 CFR Section 200.512(a) requires the reporting package and data collection form to be submitted to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse by the earlier of 30 calendar days after the reports are received from the auditor, or nine months after the end of the audit period. Recommendation RJI should ensure that its records are completed and reconciled in a timely manner, so that the Single Audit can be performed and completed on time, and the reporting package and data collection form can be submitted before the deadline. View of Responsible Officials RJI has strengthened its fiscal oversight and compliance infrastructure through the addition of dedicated finance and grants management personnel, refinement of internal controls and fiscal sponsor coordination processes, and engagement of an independent audit firm to complete the outstanding Single Audit. In addition, RJI has implemented enhanced financial monitoring procedures, standardized documentation and reconciliation practices, formalized grant closeout timelines, and established recurring internal review checkpoints to improve reporting accuracy and compliance. To support long-term sustainability and audit readiness, RJI is institutionalizing policies and continuity plans designed to ensure timely completion of all required federal and state filings, strengthen financial transparency, and reduce reliance on ad hoc processes.
