Notes to SEFA

Clay County Public Health Center (the Health Center) is the recipient of several federal awards. All federal awards received directly from federal agencies as well as those awards that are passed through other government agencies, are included on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the federal grant activity of the Health Center and is presented on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The information presented in this schedule is in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulation (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards. Therefore, some amounts presented in this schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements.
Local cost sharing, as defined by Title 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart D, Section 200.306 is required by certain federal grants. The amount of cost sharing varies with each program. Only the federal share of expenditures is presented in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
Grantor agencies reserve the right to conduct additional audits of the Health Center’s grant programs for economy and efficiency and program results that may result in disallowed costs to the Health Center. However, management does not believe such audits would result in any disallowed costs that would be material to the Health Center’s financial position at December 31, 2024.
The Health Center does not allocate indirect costs, and therefore has not elected to use the 15 % de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

Finding Details

2025-001 Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Program Title: Special Supplement Food Nutrition for Women, Infants, and Children Asset Listing Number: 10.557 Compliance Requirement Affected: Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria: An effective internal control system over compliance with federal awards should be in place to ensure compliance with federal award requirements. Allowable costs on federal grants are expenses that are reasonable, necessary, and allocable to the project, adhering to 2 CFR Part 200 Subpart E guidelines. Condition: Audit procedures identified that a monthly reimbursement request of certain wages and related benefits contained hourly wage rate errors for two of the eleven employees. With one employee’s hourly wage rate understated and one employee’s hourly wage rate overstated. There were a total of five months that the employee’s hourly wage rate was understanded (August 2025 through December 2025) and a total of four months the employee’s hourly wage rate was overstated (September 2025 through December 2025). Questioned Costs: Less than $25,000 (Total net difference resulted in an overstatement of $6,551).Cause: Internal controls of over compliance were not sufficiently designed to ensure the correct actual wage rates and related benefits were used to request reimbursement with compliance requirements with federal awards. Possible Effect: The Health Center is not in compliance with the allowable costs/cost principles. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that management review and revise policies and procedures related to verifying that correct actual wage rates and related benefits are used to request reimbursements from federal awards.
