Finding Details

The audit identified certain expenditures charged to federal awards for which adequate supporting documentation, such as receipts or invoices, was not available at the time of audit testing. The finding identified total questioned costs of $32,269 and attributed the issue to insufficient internal controls to ensure that supporting documentation is retained and readily available for expenditures charged to federal awards.
The audit identified that Gardeneers’ original Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) did not include all federal expenditures incurred during the audit period. The finding attributed the underreporting to insufficient internal controls for mapping payroll and other reimbursable grant expenses to grant-specific accounts.
