(2 CFR 200.502) Condition - Out of our 40 samples tested for allowability in the Special Education Cluster, the University improperly included 2 expenditures for goods and services incurred or received in a prior year on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) in the current year. Out of our 40 samples tested for allowability in the Research and Development Cluster, the University improperly included 1 expenditure for goods and services incurred or received in a prior year on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) in the current year. Questioned Costs - None Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed - N/A Context - As part of the University's year end closing process, they accrue for invoices received subsequent to year end but relate to the prior fiscal year.

(2024-034) Title: Internal control over the submission of CNC Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards information needs improvement Prior Year Findings: See schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table State Department: Education State Bureau: Child Nutrition Services Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Assistance Listing Title: Child Nutrition Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 10.553, 10.555, 10.556, 10.559, 10.582 Federal Award Identification Number: See E-77 to E-78 Compliance Area: Reporting Type of Finding: Significant deficiency Questioned Costs: None Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303; 2 CFR 200.502 and .510; 7 CFR 250.58(e); U.S. Department of Agriculture Policy No. FD-104 The Department must establish and maintain effective internal control over Federal awards that provides reasonable assurance that the Department is managing awards in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of awards. The Department must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the State’s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended, including distribution or use of food commodities. Federal non-cash assistance, such as food commodities, must be valued at fair market value at the time of receipt or the assessed value provided by the Federal Agency. For a cluster of programs, the SEFA must list individual Federal programs within the cluster. In meeting the commodity offer value of donated foods for the school food authority, the distributing agency must use the cost-per-pound donated food price posted annually by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the most recently published cost-per-pound price in the USDA donated foods catalog, and/or a rolling average of the USDA prices. Each distributing or recipient agency must choose a method of valuing USDA donated foods for audit purposes. In most cases, it is recommended that a distributing or recipient agency use one of the options listed in 7 CFR 250.58(e). Once a method of assigning value to USDA donated foods is selected, it must be used consistently in all its audit activities and the State must maintain a record of the means of valuing donated foods for such purposes. Condition: The Department must complete and submit exhibits and related schedules to the Office of the State Controller (OSC) at the close of each fiscal year to report Federal award information for the Child Nutrition Cluster (CNC) for inclusion on the State’s SEFA. OSC is responsible for compiling this information on behalf of the State. The Department submitted exhibits to OSC that: • incorrectly excluded $1.2 million of fresh food distributed to subrecipients and additional commodity items received. • incorrectly reported $4,481 of non-cash food assistance under ALN 10.555 National School Lunch Program that should have been reported under ALN 10.559 Summer Food Service Program. • incorrectly excluded $256 of expenditures under ALN 10.556 Special Milk Program. • incorrectly categorized $98,963 in expenditures related to the State’s juvenile correctional facility as subrecipient expenditures instead of direct expenditures. Context: In fiscal year 2024: • CNC expenditures totaled approximately $68 million. • noncash assistance totaling $1.2 million was not reported to OSC by the Department for inclusion on the SEFA. Noncash assistance for CNC totaled $6.2 million. Cause: • Lack of policies and procedures relating to Department SEFA submissions to OSC • Lack of supervisory oversight Effect: Inaccurate reporting of expenditure amounts on the SEFA, which is submitted to the Federal government, may result in incorrect information used for programmatic, policy, or statistical purposes. Recommendation: We recommend that the Department implement policies and procedures that require a comprehensive review of SEFA schedules prior to submission to OSC. In addition, we recommend enhanced oversight of policies and procedures to ensure they are consistently applied and the SEFA is accurate and complete. Corrective Action Plan: See F-17 Management’s Response: The Department agrees with this finding. The SEFA Review Procedure has been updated to include more specific information regarding the calculation of amounts reported for the Special Milk Program and noncash assistance and the classification of payments made to a school as direct payments rather than subrecipient expenditures.

Each distributing or recipient agency must choose a method of valuing USDA donated foods for audit purposes. In most cases, it is recommended that a distributing or recipient agency use one of the options listed in 7 CFR 250.58(e). Once a method of assigning value to USDA donated foods is selected, it must be used consistently in all its audit activities and the State must maintain a record of the means of valuing donated foods for such purposes. Condition: The Department must complete and submit exhibits and related schedules to the Office of the State Controller (OSC) at the close of each fiscal year to report Federal award information for the Child Nutrition Cluster (CNC) for inclusion on the State’s SEFA. OSC is responsible for compiling this information on behalf of the State. The Department submitted exhibits to OSC that: • incorrectly excluded $1.2 million of fresh food distributed to subrecipients and additional commodity items received. • incorrectly reported $4,481 of non-cash food assistance under ALN 10.555 National School Lunch Program that should have been reported under ALN 10.559 Summer Food Service Program. • incorrectly excluded $256 of expenditures under ALN 10.556 Special Milk Program. • incorrectly categorized $98,963 in expenditures related to the State’s juvenile correctional facility as subrecipient expenditures instead of direct expenditures. Context: In fiscal year 2024: • CNC expenditures totaled approximately $68 million. • noncash assistance totaling $1.2 million was not reported to OSC by the Department for inclusion on the SEFA. Noncash assistance for CNC totaled $6.2 million. Cause: • Lack of policies and procedures relating to Department SEFA submissions to OSC • Lack of supervisory oversight Effect: Inaccurate reporting of expenditure amounts on the SEFA, which is submitted to the Federal government, may result in incorrect information used for programmatic, policy, or statistical purposes. Recommendation: We recommend that the Department implement policies and procedures that require a comprehensive review of SEFA schedules prior to submission to OSC. In addition, we recommend enhanced oversight of policies and procedures to ensure they are consistently applied and the SEFA is accurate and complete. Corrective Action Plan: See F-17 Management’s Response: The Department agrees with this finding. The SEFA Review Procedure has been updated to include more specific information regarding the calculation of amounts reported for the Special Milk Program and noncash assistance and the classification of payments made to a school as direct payments rather than subrecipient expenditures.
