Finding Text
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.
