Statement of Condition Management missed reporting two federal grants (project 920 and 947) on the December 31, 2023 SEFA. Project 920 with National Institutes of Health (NIH), CFDA 93.838 and Project 947 with Dept of Health & Human Services, CFDA 93.991. Management could not obtain CFDA numbers from the funders at that time and believed that the two grants are not federal grants. Management assumed that if the funders do not provide or do not know if the contracts have CFDA numbers, it meant that the grants are not federal grants, and thus they are not part of SEFA. The two above-mentioned grants were brought up during the 2024 audit. Management successfully retrieved the CFDA for the two Federal grants. Based on our records, expenditure for projects 920 and 947 were $59,161 and $89,072 respectively. Total 2024 Federal expenditures including project 920 and 947 should be $2,462,775 instead of $2,314,542 as previously reported. A 6 percent of 2023 total expenditure grant was under reported.
