Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Suchexpenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, whereincertain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under theUniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the County of Rockingham, Virginia (the County) and component units of the Rockingham County School Board and the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Social Services District under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. 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 the County, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the County. Federal Financial Assistance The Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 (Public Law 104-156) andUniform Guidance define federal financial assistance as grants, loans, loan guarantees, property (including donated surplus property), cooperative agreements, interest subsidies, insurance, food commodities, direct appropriations or other assistance. Nonmonetary deferral assistance including food commodities is considered federal assistance and, therefore, is reported on the Schedule. Federal financial assistance does not include direct federal cash assistance to individuals.Direct Payments Assistance received directly from the Federal government is classified as direct payments on the Schedule. Pass-through Payments Assistance received in a pass-through relationship from entities other than theFederal government is classified as pass-through payments on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Major Programs Major programs for the County and its component units were determined using a riskbased approach in accordance with Uniform Guidance. Cluster of Programs Closely related programs that share common compliance requirements are grouped into clusters of programs. A cluster of programs is considered as one federal program for determining major programs. The following are the clusters administered by the County and its component units: SNAP, Child Nutrition, Forest Service Schools and Roads, Child Care and Development Fund, Medicaid, and Special Education.
Title: Non-Cash Assistance Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Suchexpenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, whereincertain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The County has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under theUniform Guidance. In addition to amounts reported on the Schedule, the County consumed non-cash assistance in the form of food commodities. Commodities with a fair value of $533,984 at the time received were consumed during the year ended June 30, 2022. These commodities were included in the determination of federal awards expended during the year ended June 30, 2022.

Finding Details

Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Compliance Finding 2022-002: Special Test ? Wage Rate Requirement Department of Education Passed through the Virginia Department of Education Pass-through Entity Identifying Numbers: 601770, 501950, 501930, 501750 Program Name: COVID-19: Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) Fund Assistance Listing Number: 84.425D Criteria: 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 subcontract 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: The School Board did not have adequate internal controls in place to verify this compliance requirement for this particular award prior to funds being spent. Cause: School Board employees were unaware the Wage Rate Requirement was applicable for this program due to confusion on some ESSER funds being exempt from this requirement. Effect: The School Board could have contracted with a vendor that did not meet the wage rate requirement. Questioned Costs: Unknown Context: Of the total expenditures for this program $604,730, or 6.43%, was spent to a vendor for various construction related projects in which the wage rate requirement was not verified with the contractor. Recommendation: We recommend the School Board implement new procedures to ensure all compliance requirements are being followed related to their federal awards. Views of Responsible Officials: The School Board agrees with this finding.
