Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified cash basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The auditee did not use the de minimis cost rate. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the federal grant activity of Kids Harbor, Inc. 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 Kids Harbor, Inc., it is not intended and does not present the modified cash basis financial position of changes in net position of Kids Harbor, Inc.. Therefore, some amounts presented in the schedule may differ from amounts presented in, or used in the preparation of, the basic financial statements.

Finding Details

2022-001 Internal Control Over Preparation of Financial Statements, Related Footnote Disclosures, and Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Criteria: Pursuant to SAS 115, Communicating Internal Control Related Matters Identified in an Audit, which affected the Organization for the year ended June 30, 2022, we are required to report on whether the Organization is able to prepare financial statements, related footnote disclosures, and schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) in accordance with the modified cash basis method of accounting. The preparation of financial statements, related footnote disclosures, and schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) requires internal controls over preventing, detecting and correcting misstatements of the accounting data, and drafting financial statements, related footnote disclosures and SEFA. Condition: The Organization?s ability to prepare financial statements, related footnote disclosures, and SEFA in accordance with the modified cash basis method of accounting is based, in part, on its reliance of the external auditors, who cannot by definition be considered part of the Organization?s internal controls. Context: The Organization has relied on its independent external auditors to assist in the drafting of the financial statements, related footnote disclosures, and SEFA in accordance with the modified cash basis method of accounting. Effect: With respect to ensuring that there are no misstatements or omissions that would be considered to be significant to the financial statements, related footnote disclosures and SEFA, the Organization relies on its external auditors for assistance with the modified cash basis method of accounting. Cause of Condition: In evaluating the control environment of the Organization, we considered the abilities of the Organization?s accountant, and though proficient in recording daily transactions, did not demonstrate abilities we considered necessary to prevent, detect and correct misstatements, or the ability to draft the financial statements, related footnote disclosures and SEFA in accordance with the modified cash basis method of accounting. Recommendation: We recommend that the Board of Directors be aware of the internal control deficiencies over financial reporting. And, if possible, implement procedures to ensure that the Organization has the expertise necessary to prevent, detect and correct misstatements and be capable of drafting the financial statements, related footnote disclosures and SEFA in accordance with the cash basis method of accounting. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: The Board believes it has personnel who possess suitable skill, knowledge, or experience to oversee services the auditor provides in assisting with financial statement presentation which requires a lower level of technical knowledge than the competence required to prepare the financial statements, related footnote disclosures and SEFA in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting.
