Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: 1. GENERAL - The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal and State Awards (the Schedule) presents the activity of all applicable federal and state award programs of the Point Isabel Independent School District (the District). The District’s reporting entity is defined in Note I of the financial statements. Federal and state awards received directly from federal and state agencies, as well as federal and state awards passed through other government agencies, are included on the Schedule. In accordance with TEA instructions, federal funds for the School Health and Related Services (SHARS) have been excluded from the Schedule. Federal funds for Child Nutrition Cluster, SHARS, Medicaid Administrative Claims (MAC), Food Distribution, P-EBT Local Admin Costs, and Commodity Storage Delivery Reimbursement are reported in the General Fund. All other federal and state programs are accounted for and reported in Special Revenue Funds. 2. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND PRESENTATION - The Schedule is presented using the modified accrual basis of accounting. The District’s significant accounting policies, including the modified accrual basis of accounting, are presented in Note I of the basic financial statements. The 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) and Texas Grant Management Standards (TxGMS). Therefore, some of the amounts presented in the Schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the financial statements. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The District has received a negotiated indirect cost rate from TEA and may not elect to use a de minimis cost rate of 10% as described at 2 CFR §200.414(f)—Indirect (F&A) costs.

Finding Details

Criteria: Under the Uniform Guidance, nonfederal entities shall include in their construction contracts subject to the Wage Rate Requirements (which still may be referenced as the Davis-Bacon Act) a provision that the contractor or subcontractor comply with those requirements and the DOL regulations (29 CFR Part 5, Labor Standards Provisions Applicable to Contacts Governing Federally Financed and Assisted Construction). This includes a requirement for the contractor or subcontractor to submit to the nonfederal entity weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a copy of the payroll and a statement of compliance (certified payrolls) (29 CFR sections 5.5 and 5.6; the A-102 Common Rule (section 36(i)(5)); OMB Circular A-110 (2 CFR Part 215, Appendix A, Contract Provisions); 2 CFR Part 176, Subpart C; and 2 CFR section 200.326). Condition: During our review of the federal program, we determined that the District lacks internal controls and therefore, cannot detect whether the District receives the required documentation for Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements on a timely basis. Cause: The District does not have sufficient detection and prevention procedures. Effect: Without proper internal controls, the District cannot prevent or detect instances of Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements noncompliance. Lack of internal controls may result in questioned costs and noncompliance with the terms of the grant. Questioned Costs: $0 Recommendation: We recommend the District adhere to the Uniform Guidance and establish internal controls to ensure the District obtains the required documentation for the Davis- Bacon prevailing wage requirements on a timely basis. Management’s views: Management agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan on page 147.
