Notes to SEFA

Title: Note 1. Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures on the Schedule are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. ICMA holds a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement (NICRA) with its Federal cognizant agency, USAID, and therefore has elected not to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) includes the Federal award activity of the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) under programs of the Federal Government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The information in the 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) . The Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of ICMA; accordingly, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets or cash flows of ICMA.

Finding Details

Information on the Federal Programs: 81.117 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Information Dissemination, Outreach, Training and Technical Analysis/Assistance Criteria or Specific Requirement: As noted in 2 CFR Part 170, recipients (i.e., direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements who make first tier subawards of $30,000 or more are required to register in the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) and report subaward data through FSRS. Prime awardees are required to file a FFATA subaward report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime recipient awards any subaward with a value greater than or equal to $30,000. Condition: We noted one instance in which the Association did not report a subaward in the Federal Subaward Reporting System within the required timeframe. The report was ultimately filed late. Context: There were three subawards under the major program. We selected one subaward for which to test the FFATA reporting requirements. Cause: The Association is familiar with FFATA reporting requirements and compliance with such requirements is an established part of the Association's internal control procedures. The late filing noted during our audit was due to oversight. Effect: Noncompliance with FFATA reporting requirements could potentially result in withholding of future payments, award suspension or termination, and ineligibility for future awards. Questioned Costs: None Identification as a Repeat Finding, if Applicable: N/A Recommendation: We recommend the Association take steps to raise awareness of the FFATA reporting deadlines to those staff responsible for compliance with FFATA reporting requirements.
