Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Zero to Five Montana (the Organization) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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 of Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the Organization, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, which is the same basis of accounting used in the preparation of the Organization’s financial statements. 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.
The Organization has not elected to use a de minimis direct cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.
Programs marked with an asterisk (*) denote major programs audited as part of the Single Audit.

Finding Details

2025-001 Federal Award Approvals – Significant Deficiency Criteria: The Organization should follow their policies related to approval on program expenditures. Condition: During our testing, we found 3 instances out of 40 samples that the Organization did not follow their control policies when approving expenditures. Cause: Undetermined. Potential Effect: The Organization did not follow their policy for the approval process which could allow for funds to be expended for purposes outside of the Federal Award parameters. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization improves their policies to ensure that members of management cannot self-approve expenditures.
