Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, 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. The University has elected not to use the 10 percent de minimis indirect cost rate to recover indirect costs, as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: N/A The accompanying schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") includes the federal grant activity of Northeast Ohio Medical University (the "University") 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 (the "Uniform Guidance"). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the University, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the University.

Finding Details

Finding Number: 2023-001 Federal Program: HRSA - Resiliency: Caring for Ourselves While Caring for Others Federal Award Identification Number and Year: U3NHP45402, 2022 Assistance Listing Number (ALN): 93.372 Federal Awarding Agency: Human Resources and Services Administration Pass-through Entity: None Repeat Finding: No Significant Deficiency and Noncompliance – FFATA Reporting Criteria: Prime recipients awarded a new federal grant greater than or equal to $30,000 are subject to FFATA sub-award reporting requirements as outlined in the Office of Management and Budgets guidance issued August 13, 2020. The prime recipient is required to file a Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) sub-award report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime recipient awards any sub-grant greater than or equal to $30,000 (Pub. L. No. 109-282 [FFATA] and Pub. L. No. 113-101 [DATA Act]). Condition: The University did not file the required FFATA reports within the required timeframe. Questioned Costs: None. Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed: N/A Context: For three out of three FFATA reports selected for testing, none of the reports was filed by the end of the month following the month in which the University awarded the sub-grant. All three reports were filed one month late. Cause and Effect: The errors occurred due to the restrictions within the FSRS system, which allows only one FFATA submission per month per award. The University delayed submissions to ensure that all reports of sub-award activity were entered together. As a result, other grant reports were filed in the subsequent month and the University missed filing the reports for this grant within the required timeframe. Recommendation: The University should implement controls and processes to ensure that the required FFATA reports are submitted timely.
