AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Significant deficiency in internal controls led to the omission of noncash federal assistance from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA).
  • Impacted Requirements: Total federal expenditures were understated, exceeding $750,000, which required a Uniform Guidance (UG) audit that was not performed.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure accurate reporting of all federal assistance and conduct a UG audit for the prior fiscal year to comply with requirements.

Finding Text

2024-001 - INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE - SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY: During the current audit, we identified that noncash federal assistance provided by the National Park Service (U.S. Department of the Interior) under ALN 15.944 – Natural Resource Stewardship during the prior fiscal year was not included in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The omission resulted in total federal expenditures for that year being understated. When the omitted noncash assistance is included, total federal expenditures for the prior year exceed $750,000, thus triggering the requirement for a UG audit. However, the entity did not conduct a UG audit for that year.
