Notes to SEFA

Guam Memorial Hospital Authority (GMHA) is a component unit of the Government of Guam (GovGuam), a governmental entity created on July 26, 1977, under Public Law No. 14-29 as an autonomous agency of GovGuam. Only the transactions of GMHA are included within the scope of the Single Audit.
The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal grant activity of GMHA under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 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 for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of GMHA, it is not intended to and does not present the net position, changes in net position or cash flows of GMHA.
Basis of Accounting Expenditures reported in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting, consistent with the manner in which GMHA maintains its accounting records. 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. Therefore, some amounts presented in this Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of the financial statements. All expenses and capital outlays are reported as expenditures. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Matching Costs Matching costs, i.e., the non-federal share of certain program costs, are not included in the Schedule. Indirect Cost Rate GMHA does not elect to use the 15% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance.

Finding Details

Finding No.: 2025-001 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury AL Program: 21.027 COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Requirement: Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Questioned Costs: $91,089 Criteria: 2 CFR section 180.300 requires entities that enter into a covered transaction must verify that the entity or person with whom they intend to do business is not excluded or disqualified by: (a) Checking SAM.gov Exclusions; or (b) Collecting a certification from that person; or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person. Condition: For 1, (or 12.5%), of 8 procurement samples tested, GMHA did not properly document that verification was performed to identify if the selected person or entity in the covered transaction was not suspended or debarred prior to transacting with them. Cause: GMHA lacked effective monitoring to ensure that vendors and entities that are debarred, suspended, or excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities are restricted from Federal awards, subawards and contracts. Effect: GMHA is in noncompliance with the applicable requirement. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Finding 2024-001 Recommendation: GMHA should revisit and implement its procedures to ensure that vendors and entities that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities are restricted from Federal awards, subawards and contracts. Procedures performed should be adequately maintained in the procurement files. Views of Responsible Officials: Refer to GMHA’s corrective action plan.
