Notes to SEFA

Soledad Enrichment Action, Inc. and Subsidiary (“SEA, Inc.” or the “Organization”) is a California not-for-profit corporation and is required by the terms of its federal grant to have a financial related audit (as defined in the Government Auditing Standards).
The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of the Organization under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 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 SEA, Inc., it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of SEA, Inc.
Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 48 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 31, Contract Cost Principles and Procedures, wherein certain types of expenditures are now allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. SEA, Inc. has elected to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate under the Uniform Guidance.
SEA, Inc. has not provided any federal awards to subrecipients from the federal expenditures presented in the Schedule for the year ended June 30, 2024.

Finding Details

Awarding Agency: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Pass-through from Community Health Councils, Inc. U.S Department of the Treasury, Pass-through from County of Los Angeles Department of Public Health Federal Program: Community Health Worker Outreach Initiative Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Funds Assistance Listing Number: 93.323 and 21.027 Grant Period: July 2023 through June 2024 and July 2023 through December 31, 2024. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.510(a) requires an entity subject to a Single Audit to submit and certify its audit package and Data Collection Form within nine months of its fiscal year-end. Condition: The Organization did not submit and certify its Data Collection Form to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse within nine months of fiscal year-end. Cause and Perspective: In May 2020, SEA experienced the unexpected departure of its Chief Financial Officerduring a period of global operational disruption. As a result, SEA encountered challenges in timely fiscal year-end close due to difficulties in identifying and hiring qualified replacement staff, which contributed to delays in completing subsequent audits. Effect: The Organization has been in contact with the agency on the progress of the projects and late submission appears to have no effect at the current date on the projects or the Organization receiving new awards subsequently. Questioned Cost: None Context: Audit was started late. Repeat finding: Yes, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 Recommendation: We recommend that the entity continue to strive for an effective method of completing the financial information within a time frame that allows both the entity and the auditors to navigate and complete the audit within 9 months. Views of Responsible Officials: The Organization concurs with the finding. The Organization will prevent future delays of the report by now having more accounting personnel to assist in meeting the filing deadline.
