Title: PASS THROUGH AGENCIES Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the “Schedule”) includes the federal grant activity of Bangor Township Schools (the “District”) under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. 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 the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position or cash flows of the District. Expenditures reported on the Schedule are reported on the modified accrual basis of accounting, which is described in Note 1 to the District's financial statements. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance or other applicable 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. Pass-through entity identifying numbers are presented where available. Cash received is recorded on the cash basis; expenditures are recorded on the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenue is recognized when the qualifying expenditures have been included and all grant requirements have been met. The Schedule has been arranged to provide information on both actual cash received and the revenue recognized. Accordingly, the effects of accruals of accounts receivable, unearned revenue and accounts payable items at both the beginning and end of the fiscal year have been reported. Expenditures are in agreement with amounts reported in the financial statements and the financial reports. The amounts on the Grant Auditor Report reconcile with this Schedule. The amounts reported on the Recipient Entitlement Balance (PAL) Report agree with this schedule for USDA donated food commodities. Spoilage and pilferage are included in expenditure amounts reported. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: For purposes of charging indirect costs to federal awards, the District has not elected to use the 10 percent de minimis cost rate as permitted by §200.414 of the Uniform Guidance. The District receives certain federal grants as subawards from non-federal entities. Pass-through entities, where applicable, have been identified in the Schedule with an abbreviation, defined as follows: Michigan Department of Education (MDE), Bay-Arenac Intermediate School District (ISD)

During the current fiscal year, the District received Child Care Relief Grant funds passed through the MDE. The MDE considered the District a beneficiary of the program, therefore no amount is included in federal expenditures on the Schedule. The following reconciles the federal sources revenue reported in the June 30, 2023 basic financial statements to the expenditures of the District administered Federal programs reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards: Federal sources revenue - $2,738,938 less: Child Care relief grant - ($164,014); Total Federal Expenditures - $2,574,924

Finding Details

Suspension and Debarment Finding Type. Immaterial Noncompliance (Procurement, Suspension and Debarment). Program. Child Nutrition Cluster; U.S. Department of Agriculture; Assistance Listing Number 10.555 and 10.559. Criteria. Recipients of federal awards are required to follow their own internal purchasing policies, as well as complying with purchasing standards set forth in the Uniform Guidance. Part of that guidance requires an entity to check if a vendor is suspended or debarred before entering into a contract. Condition. The District was unable to provide documentation to support its consideration of suspension and debarment requirements for 4 out of 6 vendors selected for testing. Cause. Management has indicated that the District is conducting proper procurement processes and checking for suspension and debarment, but does not have the proper internal controls in place to ensure that documentation of the verification is retained in accordance with federal requirements. Effect. The District is exposed to an increased risk that future noncompliance could occur and not be prevented or detected by the District's internal controls. Questioned Costs. No costs were required to be questioned as a result of this finding inasmuch as our testing did not reveal any unallowed costs, and the vendors in question were not actually suspended or debarred. Recommendation. We recommend that the District implement necessary internal controls to ensure documentation of its compliance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance is maintained. View of Responsible Officials. The District will implement the necessary internal controls to ensure the policy for compliance is followed and documented.
