AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Lack of original invoices for transactions hinders verification of allowable costs under federal guidelines.
  • Impacted Requirements: Compliance with OMB cost principles and inability to test internal controls effectively.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Ensure that all supporting documentation, including original invoices, is organized and accessible to facilitate future audits.

Finding Text

Determination of allowable activities or unallowed and allowable costs and cost principles under a Federal award is made in accordance with the government-wide cost principles in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards set forth in 2 CFR part 200. Transactions in the general ledger for the program were supported by reconciliation/spreadsheets but not actual invoices. We were also unable to test the internal controls over allowable activities or unallowed and allowable costs/cost principles without seeing the original invoice to support what was requested for reimbursement. We believe the supporting backup was provided with the reimbursement request to the grant agency but the support was not made available in the midst of the significant turnover encountered.
