Education Stabilization Fund CFDA # 84.425 Grant Period: 2021-22 U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity: Pennsylvania Department of Education Finding 2022-001 - Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Criteria: If a school operating a schoolwide program does not consolidate federal funds with state and local funds in a consolidated schoolwide pool, an employee who works, in whole or in part, on a federal program or cost objective must document time and effort as follows: For an employee who works on multiple activities or cost objectives (e.g., in part on a federal program whose funds have not been consolidated in a consolidated schoolwide pool and in part on federal programs supported with funds consolidated in a schoolwide pool or on activities that are not part of the same cost objective), an LEA must maintain time and effort distribution records in accordance with 2 CFR section 200.430(i)(1)(vii) that support the portion of time and effort dedicated to: (i) The federal program or cost objective; and (ii) Each other program or cost objective supported by consolidated federal funds or other revenue sources. Condition: A sample of 40 payroll transactions were selected for testing. There were no time and effort distribution records maintained to support the portion of time and effort dedicated to each funding source. Cause: The individual responsible for the federal program was not aware of the requirement to maintain time and effort documentation. Effect: The district receives federal funding based on allowable costs charged to the program. If documentation is not maintained to support the allowability of costs charged to the program, the district may be utilizing the funds for expenses which are unallowable. This may result in the return of federal funds to the funding agency for the unallowable costs, if deemed appropriate. Questioned Costs: Salary and benefits of employee - $12,267.41 Repeat Finding: No Context: Lack of time and effort distribution records. Recommendations: We recommend that controls be reviewed and revised to ensure that time and effort distribution records are prepared for staff who are charged to federal programs. These records should also be reviewed, approved, and maintained by administrative personnel.
