Type of Finding: Incorrectly Submitted Records
Criteria: Uniform Guidance 200.403 requires federally funded organizations spend federal dollars on allowable costs.
Condition: For the year ended June 30, 2024, we reviewed monthly grant invoices and noted that one grant invoice had incorrectly calculated indirect costs.
Cause: Program staff incorrectly included occupancy cost as part of indirect cost calculation.
Effect or Potential Effect: Resulted in the Organization charging indirect costs in excess of their actual amounts.
Questioned Costs: $107
Context: 4 months out of 12 months of monthly grant invoice selected for testing (Of the $15,875 reported as indirect costs, $107 represented incorrect expenditures).
Repeat Finding: No
Recommendation: The Organization’s program staff and management should ensure that the amounts expended are correctly stated and reviewed before submission of expenditures.
Views of Responsible Official: Management of Trinity Services Inc. concurs with the audit finding. The individual preparing the monthly grant invoice this year made clerical errors.
