Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of Samaritas and Subsidiaries (the Organization) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 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 in the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. The pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available.
The Organization has elected not to use the de minimis indirect cost rate to recover indirect costs, as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The Organization has negotiated an indirect cost rate, as applicable, with the respective federal or pass-through agency providing the award.
The value of the noncash assistance received was determined in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Guidance. The amounts reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards under ALN 10.569 are noncash assistance in the form of food commodities.

Finding Details

Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance and instances of noncompliance related to period of performance. Federal Agency: United States Department of Health and Human Services Program Title: Refugee and Entrant Assistance State/Replacement Designee Administered Programs Pass-Through Entities: Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity Assistance Listing Number: 93.566 Award Identification: All awards Criteria Per the standards contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (the Uniform Guidance), Subpart D ‐ Post Federal Award Requirements, Section 200.309, only allowable costs incurred during the period of performance may be charged to the federal awards and the start date of a renewal award begins a new and distinct period of performance. Condition/Context During our audit, out of a sample of 25 transactions tested for period of performance, we identified three selections where the cost was incurred before the respective renewal award’s period of performance start date. All three charges that were outside of the period of performance related to charges for goods and services that were entered into the incorrect period due to timing of receipt of the invoice and close out of the prior award. Cause The Organization’s controls did not operate effectively to prevent or detect expenditures that were incurred outside of the federal award’s period of performance. Effect or Potential Effect The Organization charged to federal awards costs incurred outside the period of performance. Questioned Costs Award UHPAS26-5002: $117 Award RSI26-0033: 15 Award RSS26-00002: 24 Total Questioned Costs: $156 Recommendation We recommend the Organization strengthen its internal control processes and procedures to ensure there are adequate controls in place to identify and record charges in the correct period to prevent charges to federal awards that did not occur within the award’s period of performance. Views of Responsible Individual and Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding and has provided the accompanying corrective action plan. Repeat Finding Repeat of finding 2024-001.
