Description of Finding Significant weakness in allocation of administrative costs for financial reporting. In the past, DCSOS has elected to use the 10% de minimis allocation for indirect administrative costs for all Federal grants. For State funded grants, administrative costs were a part of the budget where possible. As the organization has grown quickly in the past 3 years, a systematic process to allocate costs has not been developed and consequently, during the audit process, there was not an ‘explainable allocation’ method to review. DCSOS agrees with this audit finding. Statement of Concurrence or Nonconcurrence: Due to the rapid growth of the organization and limited staffing, a method of calculating and allocating indirect (administrative) costs has not been developed. It is noted through the audit that the absence of following the Uniform Guidance (2 CFR200) could distort the cost to run each program. Therefore, DCSOS agrees with the audit finding. Corrective Action: For the future grant application process, DCSOS will develop a formal method of allocating indirect costs to each program using an explainable method. This process will be implemented in the future grant year 2025. Proposed Completion Date: September 30, 2024 Person Responsible for Corrective Action: Financial Officer
