The auditee must maintain underlying accounting records used to prepare the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) that tie to the financial statements or a reconciliation that ties to the financial statements, for each individual award.

Effect: This could result in an inaccurate reporting of expenditures that could have a direct and material effect on the financial statements.
