AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The District failed to include $1,943,931 in expenses related to Highway Planning and Construction funds in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
  • Impacted Requirements: This oversight violates 2 CFR Subpart F § 200.510(b), which mandates accurate reporting of federal awards, including details about individual programs and subrecipients.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure adjustments are made to the Schedule and strengthen internal controls to prevent future noncompliance and inaccuracies that could jeopardize future grant funding.

Finding Text

2 CFR Subpart F § 200.510(b) requires the auditee prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the Schedule) for the period covered by the District’s financial statements which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with § 200.502. At a minimum, the schedule must: (1) List individual Federal programs by Federal agency. (2) For Federal awards received as a subrecipient, the name of the pass-through entity and identifying number assigned by the pass-through entity must be included. (3) Provide total Federal awards expended for each individual Federal program and the ALN number or other identifying number when the ALN information is not available. (4) Include the total amount provided to subrecipients from each Federal program. (5) For loan or loan guarantee programs described in § 200.502 Basis for determining Federal awards expended, paragraph (b), identify in the notes to the schedule the balances outstanding at the end of the audit period. (6) Include notes that describe the significant accounting policies used in preparing the schedule, and note whether or not the auditee has elected to use the 10 percent de minimis cost rate as covered in § 200.414 Indirect (F&A) costs. The District’s internal control procedures did not identify $1,943,931 of expenses in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards related to the Highway Planning and Construction funds. Adjustments, to which management have agreed, are reflected in the accompanying Schedule. Noncompliance with grant requirements as well as errors and omissions on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards could have an adverse effect on future grant awards by the awarding agencies in addition to an inaccurate assessment of major federal programs that would be subjected to audit.
