Per 2 CFR 200.510(b), the SEFA for the period covered by the auditee?s financial statements must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR 200.502, which describes the basis for determining federal awards expended Condition The SEFA required adjustments related to expenditures that were both improperly included and excluded, resulting in revisions to correct the SEFA. Questioned Costs None Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed N/A Context The adjustments made to the schedule of expenditures of federal awards did not impact major program determination. There were certain expenditures that were identified during testing that should have been both included on and excluded from the SEFA related to ALN 20.106 (Airport Improvement Program) and State CFSA 55.004 (FDOT Aviation Development Grants). Cause and Effect Internal control procedures relative to the identification of federal expenditures to be reported on the SEFA did not operate effectively. This resulted in the Authority's schedule of expenditures of federal awards provided to the auditors being inaccurate. Recommendation Internal control procedures should be initiated and enforced to ensure the proper expenditures are reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan - The Authority will strengthen its controls around the grant review process. In addition to the second-level review and approval process for grant revenue, the Authority will implement a quarterly review to identify eligible expenditures for federal and state grant reimbursements to ensure revenue is recognized in the proper period.

2022-006 – Preparation of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) (repeat) Finding Type: Material Weakness in Internal Controls and Noncompliance (Reporting, Cash Management and Allowable Costs/Cost Principles) Federal Program: U.S. Department of Transportation – Airport Improvement Program (AL #20.106); all project numbers and U.S. Department of Treasury – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (AL #21.027) Criteria: The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Section 200.303(b) requires non-Federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the Federal award. CFR Section 200.502(a) states that the determination of when a Federal award is expended should be based on when the activity related to the Federal award occurs. Generally, the activity pertains to events that require the nonFederal entity to comply with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards, such as expenditure/expense transactions associated with grant awards. The County reports expenditures on the SEFA when the expenditure has been incurred, or on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. CFR Section 200.510(b) requires the auditee to prepare a SEFA for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with CFR Section 200.502(a), as stated above, and must reconcile amounts reported in the SEFA to the amounts reported in the auditee’s financial statements. Condition: The SEFA was not appropriately reconciled to federal grant revenues and expenditures recorded in the financial statements. Changes were made to major program expenditures, as well as expenditures of other programs, during the closing process and during the completion of the single audit to properly report expenditures on the SEFA. Closing procedures should be in place to reconcile grant expenditures incurred at year-end, confirm the amount as eligible with the grantor, claim the grant revenues on a timely basis, reconcile the claim to the general ledger, and ensure the expenditures that will be claimed under federal awards are properly reported on the SEFA and audited financial statements prior to the start of the single audit. If expenditures reported on the SEFA are misstated, the County could fail to have a program appropriately identified as a major program and tested as a major program during the single audit. Failure to have a program audited during the single audit would result in noncompliance with Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Cause: Closing procedures were not in place and management did not effectively communicate with County departments responsible for administering federal awards to identify all federal grant related activity. Effect: The SEFA required material adjustments to include all federal expenditures prior to the single audit beginning, which resulted in a misstated preliminary SEFA and inefficiencies during the single audit. Questioned Costs: No costs have been questioned as a result of this finding. Recommendation: We recommend that management meet with department heads throughout the year and during the closing process to identify all expenditures under federal awards. Training should be provided to all staff to make sure they are aware of the importance of accurately reconciling and claiming grant expenditures on a timely basis and providing the information to management for inclusion on the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials: The County will work to improve closing processes and communications with various departments to ensure the SEFA is complete and accurate.

Section III - Findings Required to be Reported in Accordance with Uniform Guidance: 2022-002 Expenditures of Federal Awards-Internal Control and Compliance- AL/CFDA #: 93.243-Federal Program: Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Projects of Regional and National Significance-Criteria: Chapter 2, Part 200, Subpart F § 200.510 Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) states, "The Auditee must also prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the period covered by the financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in §200.502...(3) Provide total Federal awards expended for each Federal Program..."-Condition: The NIWHRC did not keep adequate accounting records to allow for expenditures to be accumulated by the individual Federal program. All expenditures were recorded as Federal expenditures without information on which program expended the funds.- Cause and Effect: No procedure has been developed to reconcile all balance sheet accounts each month (i.e., restricted cash, utility receivables, account payables, capital assets, etc.). As a result, the balance sheet may be out of balance with the subsidiary accounts and ledgers and the Organization would not be aware of it. - Recommendation: We recommend the NIWHRC develop policy and procedures to record federal expenditures by Federal award. This could also be a function of a third-party CPA to reconcile each Federal award to ensure expenditures are recorded correctly. - Responsible Official's Response: Subsequent to the year end, NIWHRC has engaged an outside CPA firm to reconcile the accounts monthly.

Assistance Listing Number, Federal Agency, and Program Name - 21.027 U.S. Department of the Treasury Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Federal Award Identification Number and Year - YDYNCVFA9NH4 Pass through Entity - City of Raleigh, North Carolina Finding Type - Material weakness Repeat Finding - No Criteria - Per 2 CFR 200.508(b), an auditee must prepare appropriate financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, in accordance with 200.510 financial statements. Per 2 CFR 200.510(b), the auditee must also prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements, which must include the total federal awards expended, as determined in accordance with 200.502 basis for determining federal awards expended. Condition - Controls in place were not adequate to ensure the schedule of federal expenditures was complete and accurate. Questioned Costs - N/A Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed - N/A Context - WakeMed did not initially include the funds received through the U.S. Department of the Treasury American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds on the SEFA. Cause and Effect - WakeMed did not have a process in place to identify all potential sources of federal funding received during the year, resulting in the SEFA being incomplete for the year ended September 30, 2022. Upon discovery of the error, WakeMed prepared a SEFA that included the U.S. Department of the Treasury American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds. This lack of controls resulted in the reissuance of the 2022 single audit. Recommendation - Management should implement controls to ensure all federal funding received is properly identified as such and included on the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions - Management agrees with the finding as reported. The federal funding was not received until fiscal year 2023 while some expenditures were incurred in fiscal year 2022. The timing of events contributed to the oversight on the 2022 SEFA. WakeMed has reeducated staff on the preparation of the SEFA in order to prevent this error from reoccurring.
Finding 2022 – 008: Reporting: Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) (Repeat Finding: 2019-007, 2020-007 and 2021-006) Criteria: Uniform Guidance 2 CFR §200.510 requires an auditee to “prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements [that]… at a minimum shall…list individual Federal programs by Federal agency… [and] provide total Federal awards expenditures for each individual Federal program and the Assistance Listing Number (ALN) or other identifying number when the ALN information is not available.” In accordance with Uniform Guidance, the Governmental Department is required to maintain a structure of internal control to ensure compliance with applicable reporting requirements. Condition: During fiscal year 2022, the Governmental Department did not have sufficient controls to ensure the SEFA accurately reflected each award’s federal expenditures. There were differences noted in reconciling expenditures from the original SEFA to the trial balance, and it was discovered that certain adjustments for grants receivable, unearned revenues and grant revenue had not been made in order to properly report total federal expenditures. These errors were corrected through adjustments proposed as part of the audit, and the final version of the SEFA reconciles to the Governmental Department’s general ledger. Questioned Costs: None Cause: Insufficient training or understanding of Uniform Guidance, including some of the required elements of the SEFA, contributed to this finding. Effect: The Governmental Department was not able to produce an accurate and timely SEFA, which required additional effort and resources by the Governmental Department and auditor during the audit process. Recommendation: We recommend that the Governmental Department becomes familiar with the SEFA reporting elements required by Uniform Guidance and develop and implement a review process to ensure compliance with those reporting requirements. These processes and controls should include reconciling SEFA federal expenditures to the current year general ledger expenditures and reviewing other grant related information to ensure accuracy. Views of Responsible Officials: See the corrective action plan that accompanies the schedule of findings and questioned costs.

Assistance Listing Number, Federal Agency, and Program Name - 66.818, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements; 14.218, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Grants Cluster Federal Award Identification Number and Year - N/A Passthrough Entity - 66.818, Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup of Cooperative Agreements is direct funded. 14.218, Community Development Block Grant is passed through Wayne County, Michigan. Finding Type - Material weakness Repeat Finding - No Criteria - The Single Audit Act and Uniform Guidance require a nonfederal entity that expends $750,000 or more of federal awards in a fiscal year to have a single or program specific audit. 2 CFR §200.508 (b) indicates that the auditee must prepare financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards in accordance with 2 CFR §200.510. Additionally, 2 CFR §200.502 describes the basis for determining the timing of when federal awards are deemed expended and, therefore, reportable on the schedule. Condition - The schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) was not accurate. Questioned Costs - None Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed - N/A Context - During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the City expended approximately $921,000 of federal funding. The initial draft of the SEFA included the following inaccuracies: ALN 66.818 The expenditures reported on the SEFA were understated by $125,687. ALN 14.218 The expenditures reported on the SEFA were understated by $80,468. The errors noted above have been corrected on the SEFA as of September 30, 2022. Cause and Effect - Controls in place did not ensure the SEFA was complete and accurate for the fiscal period under audit, as the City did not include use of program income in its review of federal expenditures. The errors resulted in the understatement of federal expenditures, as noted in the context above. Additionally, the understatement of federal expenditures on the SEFA resulted in the incorrect conclusion that federal activity was below $750,000, and, therefore, a single audit was not needed. Recommendation - We recommend the City implement a process to ensure that the SEFA is complete and accurate. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan - The City will review its process for identifying and communicating Federal Grant expenditures to its auditors.
Assistance Listing Number, Federal Agency, and Program Name - 66.818, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup Cooperative Agreements; 14.218, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Grants Cluster Federal Award Identification Number and Year - N/A Passthrough Entity - 66.818, Brownfields Assessment and Cleanup of Cooperative Agreements is direct funded. 14.218, Community Development Block Grant is passed through Wayne County, Michigan. Finding Type - Material weakness Repeat Finding - No Criteria - The Single Audit Act and Uniform Guidance require a nonfederal entity that expends $750,000 or more of federal awards in a fiscal year to have a single or program specific audit. 2 CFR §200.508 (b) indicates that the auditee must prepare financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards in accordance with 2 CFR §200.510. Additionally, 2 CFR §200.502 describes the basis for determining the timing of when federal awards are deemed expended and, therefore, reportable on the schedule. Condition - The schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) was not accurate. Questioned Costs - None Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed - N/A Context - During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022, the City expended approximately $921,000 of federal funding. The initial draft of the SEFA included the following inaccuracies: ALN 66.818 The expenditures reported on the SEFA were understated by $125,687. ALN 14.218 The expenditures reported on the SEFA were understated by $80,468. The errors noted above have been corrected on the SEFA as of September 30, 2022. Cause and Effect - Controls in place did not ensure the SEFA was complete and accurate for the fiscal period under audit, as the City did not include use of program income in its review of federal expenditures. The errors resulted in the understatement of federal expenditures, as noted in the context above. Additionally, the understatement of federal expenditures on the SEFA resulted in the incorrect conclusion that federal activity was below $750,000, and, therefore, a single audit was not needed. Recommendation - We recommend the City implement a process to ensure that the SEFA is complete and accurate. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan - The City will review its process for identifying and communicating Federal Grant expenditures to its auditors.
Finding 2022 – 006: Reporting - Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Criteria: Uniform Guidance 2 CFR § 200.510 requires an auditee to "prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements [that]… at a minimum shall… list individual Federal programs by Federal agency... [and] provide total Federal awards expenditures for each individual Federal program and the Assistance Listing number or other identifying number when the ALN information is not available." In accordance with Uniform Guidance, the auditee is required to maintain a structure of internal controls to ensure compliance with applicable reporting requirements. Condition: During fiscal year 2022, the Organization did not have adequate controls in place to ensure the SEFA accurately reflected each award's federal agency and assistance listing number. There were differences between the SEFA and the grant agreements/compliance supplements, requiring adjustments to the SEFA. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: A lack of sufficient training or understanding of Uniform Guidance requirements, particularly related to SEFA reporting elements, contributed to this finding. Effect: The Organization was unable to produce an accurate and timely SEFA, requiring additional effort and resources from both the Organization and the auditor to correct reporting errors during the audit process. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization enhance its understanding of SEFA reporting requirements under Uniform Guidance, develop and implement a structured review process to ensure compliance with those reporting requirements, reconcile federal expenditures reported on the SEFA to the amounts recorded in the general ledger, and review federal agency names and assistance listing numbers against grant documentation to ensure accuracy. Views of Responsible Officials: See the corrective action plan that accompanies the schedule of findings and questioned costs.
