A control system also must be developed to ensure that adequate safeguards are in place to prevent loss, damage, or theft of equipment. Any loss, damage, or theft of equipment must be investigated (Title 2, CFR, Section 200.313(d)(3)). Based on an analysis of a population of 1,330 federal assets, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (Medical Center) did not perform a physical inventory for 257 (19 percent) of those items as required. Although the Medical Center had a process in place to monitor the most recent date each asset was inventoried, the process was not sufficient to ensure a complete physical inventory of all assets was conducted at least once during fiscal years 2023 and 2024. Not performing a biennial inventory of all assets increases the risk that equipment purchased with federal funds may be lost, stolen, or improperly disposed. Recommendation: The Medical Center should strengthen controls to ensure that a complete physical inventory of equipment is conducted at least once every two years. Views of Responsible Officials: The University acknowledges and agrees with the finding. Through analysis of the exceptions identified in the audit, the University will work to develop and implement corrective action to further improve the processes.

U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development #14.251 Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding, and Miscellaneous Grants 2024-002 Fixed Assets – Lack of Proper Tracking and Capitalization Criteria: Per 2 CFR §200.313 (Equipment) and §200.302(b)(4), entities must maintain records that accurately describe property purchased with federal funds, including information such as description, serial number, funding source, acquisition cost, and location. Additionally, the organization’s capitalization policy requires assets exceeding the capitalization threshold to be recorded and depreciated over their useful lives rather than expensed when purchased. Condition: During the audit, it was noted that certain fixed assets purchased with government grant funds were expensed rather than capitalized in the Organization’s accounting records. In addition, the Organization does not maintain a complete and up-to-date fixed asset listing identifying assets purchased with grant funds. As a result, assets acquired with federal funds are not being properly tracked or reported in accordance with applicable regulations and Organizational policy. Cause: The Organization’s capitalization procedures were not consistently applied, and controls over review of capital purchases were insufficient. Effect: The lack of accurate tracking and capitalization of grant-funded assets increases the risk of noncompliance with federal property management requirements, inaccurate financial reporting, and difficulty in monitoring and safeguarding assets purchased with government funds. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: We recommend management review and update procedures to ensure all purchases meeting the capitalization threshold are properly identified and recorded as fixed assets, maintain a detailed fixed asset listing that includes all assets purchased with federal funds, and train accounting staff on capitalization requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with this finding. Corrective Action: Fair Haven has internal records with tracking assets but will ensure that all qualifying capital asset purchases are properly capitalized and recorded on the balance sheet in accordance with GAAP and added to the fixed asset register. Management will review significant purchases at acquisitions to confirm proper treatment going forward.

Reference Number: 2024-003 Description: Written Procedures Condition and Criteria: At the beginning of the audit period, the District did not have a Federal Funds Manual in place to document policies and procedures for managing federal awards in compliance 2 CFR 200, Subparts D and E. The Uniform Guidance requires the following written procedures: Written procedures for grant financial management (2 CFR 200.302 and 2 CFR 200.305) Written procurement policy (2 CFR 200.318a) Written procedures for allowable costs (2 CFR 200.403) Written procedures for managing and safeguarding property or equipment acquired with federal funds (2 CFR 200.313) During the course of the audit, the District developed and implemented a Federal Funds Manual to address this deficiency. Cause: There was an administrative oversight of ensuring the District had these written procedures in place. Effect: The absence of a documented Federal Funds Manual increased the risk of noncompliance with federal requirements and ineffective management of federal funds. However, the district’s subsequent implementation of the manual before the audit’s completion reduced this risk. Recommendation: We recommend that the District continue to utilize and periodically review the Federal Funds Manual to ensure it remains comprehensive and up-to-date with changes in federal requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action: See Corrective Action Plan.

Criteria: Per 2 CFR § 200.313 (Uniform Guidance) for managing federally funded property, recipients must: maintain records of capital assets purchased with federal funds including detailed descriptions, serial numbers, acquisition dates, and funding sources. The recipients must also perform physical inventories at least every two years to ensure assets are accounted for, and establish internal controls to safeguard assets from loss, damage, or unauthorized use. Condition: During the audit, we noted that the Town did not segregate capital assets acquired utilizing federal funds in its capital asset software, including records of asset locations and condition. Since federally funded capital assets were not separately tracked in the capital asset system, we were unable to determine which disposals during the current year, if any were federally purchased assets. Lastly, the Town did not maintain records of any federally purchased asset inventory counts completed during the last two years. Cause: The Town lacked sufficient internal controls and formalized procedures to track federally funded assets. Effect or Potential Effect: Inadequate records increase the risk of asset misappropriation, misuse or loss. Failure to account for disposals could lead to questioned costs during federal audits. Sale of federally purchased assets could result in a gain and the requirement for the Town to perform program income procedures with the pass-through entity or the related federal agency. Recommendation: We recommend the Town update their capital asset tracking schedule to include information on which assets are purchased using federal funds. Furthermore, we suggest the Town begin to keep records of any inventory count taken and begin scheduling inventory counts to be completed at least once every two years. Management's Response: Management concurs with the finding and has already begun taking steps to address the issue. They plan on updating their capital asset tracking module to include documentation of federally purchased assets. Additionally, the Town is in the process of scheduling inventory counts to be completed at least once every two years, and to maintain documentation of any inventory count completed.
Criteria: 2 CFR 200.313 (d) contains equipment management requirements which include a physical inventory of research funded property and reconciliation with the property records at least once every two years. Condition: A physical inventory of the research funded property must be conducted and the results must be reconciled with the property records at least once every two years. The last physical inventory was conducted in FY2022. Cause: Management did not perform the physical inventory in FY2023 or FY2024 of the research funded property due to timing constraints. Management’s process includes other procedures such as an internal fixed asset confirmation over equipment and real property, however such procedures are not comprehensive or at a sufficient level of detail to meet the compliance requirement. Effect: Not performing the physical inventory could result in an inaccurate record of assets purchased with federal funds. Questioned Costs: None; Reccomendation: Management should ensure the physical inventory is scheduled early in the two year cycle to ensure completeness within the required two year timeframe. Managements's View and Corrective Action Plan: Management agrees with the finding. Refer to the Management Corrective Action Plan on page 81.
