Notes to SEFA

Title: NOTE 3: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The accompanying schedule summarizes the federal expenditures of the College under programs of the federal government for the year ended September 30, 2022. The amount reported as federal expenditures were obtained from the Colleges general ledger. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the College, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net margins and cash flows of the College. For purposes of the schedule, federal awards include all grants, contracts, and similar agreements entered into directly with the federal government and other pass through entities. Payments received for goods or services provided as a vendor do not constitute federal awards for purposes of the schedule. The College has obtained Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN) to ensure that all programs have been identified in the Schedule. ALN have been appropriately listed by applicable programs. Federal programs with different ALNs that are closely related because they share common compliance requirements are defined as a cluster by the Uniform Guidance. Three clusters were identified in the schedule as follows: Student Financial Aid Cluster This cluster includes awards that assist agencies in providing financial assistance to eligible students attending eligible institutions of postsecondary education. TRIO Cluster This cluster includes awards that assist agencies in providing outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds (lowincome individuals, firstgeneration college students, and individuals with disabilities). Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Cluster This cluster includes awardsdesigned to help job seekers access employment, education, training, and support services to succeed in the labor market and to match employers with the skilled workers they need to compete in the global economy.
Title: NOTE 10: FEDERALLY FUNDED INSURANCE Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The College did not have any federally funded insurance required to be reported on the schedule for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2022.
Title: NOTE 4: RELATIONSHIP OF THE SCHEDULE TO PROGRAM FINANCIAL REPORTS Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The amounts reflected in the financial reports submitted to the awarding federal and/or passthrough agency and the schedule may differ. Some of the factors that may account for any difference include the following: The Colleges fiscal year end may differ from the programs year end. Accruals recognized in the schedule, because of year end procedures, may not be reported in the program financial reports until the next program reporting period. Fixed asset purchases and the resultant depreciation charges are recognized as property and equipment, net in the Colleges financial statements and as expenditures in the program financial reports.
Title: NOTE 5: FEDERAL PASS-THROUGH FUNDS Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The College is the subrecipient of federal funds that have been subjected to testing and are reported as expenditures and listed as federal passthrough funds. Federal awards other than those indicated as passthrough are considered direct and will be designated accordingly.
Title: NOTE 6: CONTINGENCIES Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. Grant monies received and disbursed by the College are for specific purposes and are subject to review by the grantor agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursement due to disallowed expenditures. Based upon experience, the College does not believe that such disallowance, if any, would have a material effect on the financial position of the College. As of September 30, 2022, there were no known material questioned or disallowed costs as a result of grant audits in process or completed.
Title: NOTE 7: NONCASH ASSISTANCE Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The College did not receive any federal noncash assistance for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
Title: NOTE 8: SUBRECIPIENTS Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The College did not provide federal funds to subrecipients for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022.
Title: NOTE 9: LOANS AND LOAN GUARANTEES Accounting Policies: This Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the schedule) was prepared on the modified accrual basis of accounting. The modified accrual basis differs from the full accrual basis of accounting in that expenditures for property and equipment are expensed when incurred, rather than being capitalized and depreciated over their useful lives, and expenditures for the principal portion of debt service are expensed when incurred, rather than being applied to reduce the outstanding principal portion of debt, which conforms to the basis of reporting to grantors for reimbursement under the terms of George C. Wallace Community Colleges (the College) federal grants. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The College has elected to not use the 10% de Minimis indirect cost rate. The College did not have any loans or loan guarantee programs required to be reported on the schedule.

As specified in 2 CFR section 200.303 the non-Federal entity must establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non- Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Adequate controls must be in place to ensure proper expenditures are reported in the applicable reporting periods. Condition ? Adequate controls were not in place to review and approve grant reports for accuracy and completeness of the report prior to their submission to the grantor. Appropriate supporting documentation was not retained in order to reconcile the amounts reported on the HEERF I, II, & III Annual Performance Report Form to the College?s books of record. Cause ? Lack of sufficient controls over the review and approval of grant reports to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the report being submitted to the grantor. Effect ? Lack of proper review and approval for accuracy and completeness of reports can result in improper reporting which could lead to disallowed costs. However, our audit disclosed no instances of unallowable costs. Questioned Costs ? Not determinable. Recommendation ? We recommend the strengthening of controls to ensure the quarterly grant reports are reviewed and approved for accuracy and completeness prior to submission to the grantor. Management?s Response ? The College will strengthen the controls in place to provide assurance that proper review and approval of reports? accuracy and completeness is obtained on required grant reports prior to submission to the grantor.

Adequate controls were not in place to review and approve grant reports for accuracy and completeness of the report prior to their submission to the grantor. Appropriate supporting documentation was not retained in order to reconcile the amounts reported on the HEERF I, II, & III Annual Performance Report Form to the College?s books of record. Cause ? Lack of sufficient controls over the review and approval of grant reports to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the report being submitted to the grantor. Effect ? Lack of proper review and approval for accuracy and completeness of reports can result in improper reporting which could lead to disallowed costs. However, our audit disclosed no instances of unallowable costs. Questioned Costs ? Not determinable. Recommendation ? We recommend the strengthening of controls to ensure the quarterly grant reports are reviewed and approved for accuracy and completeness prior to submission to the grantor. Management?s Response ? The College will strengthen the controls in place to provide assurance that proper review and approval of reports? accuracy and completeness is obtained on required grant reports prior to submission to the grantor. The Dean of Business Affairs will be responsible for this corrective action and anticipates completion of corrective action will be taken before 1/31/23.
