Notes to SEFA

The COUNTY OF FRANKLIN, PENNSYLVANIA (the "County") as the reporting entity for financial reporting purposes is defined in Note 1 to the County's financial statements. For purposes of preparing the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, the County's reporting entity differs from that used for financial purposes, in that awards received and expended, if any, by the following entities are excluded: Franklin County Industrial Development Authority Tuscarora Managed Care Alliance Franklin County Conservation District Franklin County Redevelopment Authority Letterkenny Industrial Development Authority Direct awards pertaining to these entities have been excluded from the accompanying schedules principally because the County is not directly involved in maintaining the accounting records or systems of internal accounting and administrative controls for these entities. Where applicable, these entities have arranged for the issuance of separate Single Audit Reports containing their audited financial statements and schedule of expenditures of federal awards and all required audit reports. Except as indicated above, the accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards presents the activity of all federal award programs of the County.
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the County's financial statements. The County did not use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate.
The 2025 threshold for determining Type A and Type B Programs was $1,000,000. The following Type A programs were audited as major: AL Number Program 93.658 Foster Care – Title – IV-E 93.659 Adoption Assistance – Title – IV-E The amount expended under programs audited as major federal programs for the year ended December 31, 2025, totaled $2,696,324 or 25.08% of total federal expenditures.

Finding Details

Finding 2025-001 Special Tests & Provisions – Payment Rate Setting and Application ALN 93.568 Foster Care – Title IV-E Criteria: In accordance with 45 CFR section 1356.21(m)(1), the County is required to review at reasonable, specific, time-limited periods the amounts of the payments made for foster care maintenance to assure their continued appropriateness. And in accordance with 45 CFR section 1356.60(a)(1), federal financial participation (FFP) is only available to title IV-E agencies under an approved title IV-E plan for allowable costs for foster care maintenance. Condition: For 2 out of 60 maintenance rates tested, we noted that the amount of foster care maintenance requested for reimbursement on the IV-E invoice was greater than the allowable rate as the rate that was requested was the previously allowable rate. Cause: The County does not have adequate procedures in place to ensure controls over Federal Special Tests & Provisions – Payment Rate Setting and Application compliance requirements are operating effectively. Effect: Adequate internal controls are not in place over Federal Special Tests & Provisions – Payment Rate Setting and Application compliance requirements and the County is not in compliance with the requirement. Questioned Costs: $464. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented to ensure that County only requests reimbursement for the amount of allowable foster care maintenance and that rates are updated when new allowable rates are determined. Management’s Response: The County agrees with the finding and has implemented procedures to ensure all future foster care maintenance for which reimbursement is sought is allowable.
