Notes to SEFA

Title: NOTE 1 – SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Policies: Basis of presentation – The schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the schedule) is prepared on the accrual basis of accounting. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U. S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Federal expenditures include allowable costs funded by federal grants. Allowable costs are subject to the cost principles of the Uniform Guidance and include costs that are recognized as expenses in WHFPT’s financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. WHFPT has elected not to use the 10% de minimus rate for indirect costs. In accordance with §200.516 of the Uniform Guidance, payments to subrecipients are reported in the schedule when distributed as agreed to through contracts with subrecipients. Annually, WHFPT reconciles actual performance provided by subrecipients to the estimated services stipulated in the subrecipient contracts. Underperformance by subrecipients is reported as Due from subrecipients; the Due from subrecipients is settled either by cash payment from the subrecipient or by subrecipient provision of services in the next contract cycle. WHFPT also may settle with overperformers who exceeded the estimated health services by agreeing to additional distributions to be made either from (1) funds collected from underperformers or (2) additional original grant funding available. Such amounts are reported as Due to subrecipients. Payments to overperformers that are disbursed from amounts received from underperformers are not included again as expenditures of federal awards as they were included at the time of initial disbursement. Because the schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of WHFPT, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net assets, or cash flows of WHFPT.

Finding Details

Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Health and Human Services, Family Planning Services (Title X), Assistance Listing #93.217, Contract Number: FPHPA006521-01-00, Contract Year: 04/01/22 – 03/31/23 Criteria: Subrecipient monitoring – 2 CFR §200.332(d) requires that the activities of subrecipients be monitored to ensure that subawards are used for authorized purposes, in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward, and that subaward performance goals are achieved. Part of the required monitoring activities include following-up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes timely and appropriate action on Single Audit findings. Condition and context: Of the four subrecipients tested, we found that WHFPT did not obtain and review the Single Audit reports for one subrecipient. Effect: Without sufficient policies in place to review the single audits for each subrecipient, WHFPT has no way to ensure that findings, if any, are appropriately and timely addressed to ensure compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward. Recommendation: Implement policies to obtain the single audit reports for all subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal requirements and, where findings are reported, ensure that the subrecipient has taken appropriate actions to remedy the finding. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.
