Notes to SEFA

Accounting Policies: The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal, state and other local grant awards includes the federal and state grant activity of Fulton County, Georgia (the “County”) and is presented on the cash basis of accounting and is not intended to present the results of grant activity in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Under the cash basis of accounting, revenues are recognized when received and expenditures are recorded when paid. Such expenditures are recognized following, as applicable, either the cost principles in OMB Circular A-87, Cost Principles for State, Local and Indian Tribal Governments, or the cost principles contained in Title 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Federal awards received directly from federal agencies and federal assistance passed through other government agencies are included on the schedule. However, federal financial assistance received by component units who engaged other auditors to perform an audit in accordance with the Uniform Guidance are not included on the schedule. In instances where the grant agreement requires the County to match grant awards with County funds, such matching funds are included in the Schedule of Expenditures. Grant programs, which did not have 2022 transactions have not been presented herein. The majority of these programs have completed their program activities but may not have been officially closed out. Grant revenues and expenditures incurred prior to 2022 under these grants remain subject to audit by either the grantor agency or its representatives within the limitations of the appropriate circulars. Federal grant programs that are administered through State agencies (pass-through awards) have been included in this report. These programs are operated according to Federal regulations promulgated by the Federal agency providing the funding. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The 10% de minimus cost rate isn't used on programs presented on the schedule. Fulton County claims indirect cost, where applicable, using a plan rate developed in accordance with the required OMB Circular.

Finding Details

III. FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS Finding No. 2022-003 Subrecipient Monitoring U.S. Department of the Treasury Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – CFDA #21.027 Criterion: Per CFR 200.331 the grantee must monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purpose, complies with the terms and conditions of the subaward, and achieves performance goals. Per CFR 200.303, a 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. Condition: The County passed through funding to 48 subrecipients totaling $19,329,471. During calendar year 2022, management did not properly monitor the subrecipients. Specifically, management was unable to provide any documented evidence of a monitoring being performed for 3 of the 48 subrecipients. Cause and Effect: Management lacks a process to ensure that subrecipient files are adequately maintained and the monitoring of subrecipients is occurring during the contract period. Therefore, subrecipients were not properly monitored in accordance with 2 CFR 200.331 nor in accordance with the County’s Subrecipient Monitoring Policy. Questioned Cost: None Recommendation: We recommend that management enhance the design of its control activities to ensure that subrecipient files are adequately maintained, subrecipients are effectively monitored during the contract period noted in the contractual agreements as well as the County’s Subrecipient Monitoring Policy.
