Notes to SEFA

Title: Note 1: Basis of Presentation Accounting Policies: Expenditures of federal awards are recognized under the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are reported following the cost principles contained in uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowed or are limited as to reimbursement. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: The City elected not to use the 10% de minimis indirect cost rate allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule”) includes the federal award activity of the City of Tulsa, Oklahoma (the City) and some of the City’s component units under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2023. The schedule of expenditures of federal awards does not include the federal grant activity of the Tulsa Development Authority, the Tulsa Airport Improvement Trust, the Tulsa Authority for Economic Opportunity, and the Tulsa Performing Arts Center Trust, discretely presented component units of the City, and the Tulsa Stadium Trust, a blended component unit of the City. 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 City, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the City.

Finding 2023-001: Reporting–Deficiency U.S. Department of Homeland Security Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response (SAFER) Assistance Listing No. 97.083 Federal award year 2020 Criteria: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security and terms of the related grant agreement, require the City to prepare and submit semi-annual performance reports. Condition: The City did not submit one of the required reports within the 30-day deadline. Specifically, the report for the period January 1, 2023 – June 30, 2023 was due by July 30, 2023, but submitted by the City on November 30, 2023. Cause: Personnel responsible for the submission of the semi-annual reports during fiscal year 2023 were changed, due to personnel turnover at the City. Effect or potential effect: One of the required reports were not submitted timely. Questioned costs: None Context: There were two semi-annual performance reports that were required to be submitted, relating to fiscal year 2023. One of the two reports selected for testing was submitted late. Identification as a repeat finding, if applicable: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the City establish and maintain procedures to ensure reports are submitted by the applicable deadline. We suggest maintaining documentation that provides guidance for who specifically has responsibility for all reports required to be filed with granting agencies, and tracks if the relevant reports have been submitted timely. Views of responsible officials and auditee: Management agrees with this finding.
