Notes to SEFA

Title: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance for all awards, 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 (the Schedule) includes the federal award activity of the Community of Peace Academy (the School) 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 2 CFR 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 School, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or changes in net position of the School.

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matter Criteria or specific requirement: Uniform Guidance Cost Principles 200.412 note that "it is essential that each item of cost incurred for the same purpose be treated consistently in like circumstances either as a direct or an indirect cost in order to avoid possible double-charging of Federal Awards.? Condition: During our testing of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards, it was noted that the School had charged the same expenditures to both the Education Stabilization Fund and the Emergency Connectivity Fund. Questioned costs: N/A Context: The School charged two expenditures for a total of $13,880 to both the Education Stabilization Fund and the Emergency Connectivity Fund. Cause: The School did not realize that the Emergency Connectivity Funds were also federal funds. The School did not have proper internal controls in place to identify the Emergency Connectivity fund as a federal program and ensure costs were not charged to both programs. Effect: The School charged the same expenditures to multiple federal programs. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the School review its controls over charging costs to federal programs to ensure no costs are charged to multiple federal programs. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
