Notes to SEFA

The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) includes the federal grant activity of Rural Development Finance Corporation (The Organization) under programs of the federal government for the year ended December 31, 2025. The information 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 to net assets, or cash flows of the Organization.

Finding Details

Federal Program AL 10.382 Meat and Poultry Intermediary Lending Program Criteria 2 CFR 200.303 Internal Controls, requires that recipients establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provide reasonable assurance that the recipient is managing Federal awards in compliance with Federal status, regulations and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Condition There is a lack of review and approval over grant reporting prior to submission. Cause The organization is new to receiving federal grant funding and during 2025 was in the process of putting appropriate internal controls in place. Effect Noncompliance will not be prevented or detected and corrected in a timely manner. Repeat Finding This is a repeat finding. Recommendation We recommend the Organization review their internal controls over grant reporting to determine if additional procedures can be implemented. Compensating controls that mitigate the related risks could be provided through appropriate oversight of the performance of these functions.
