Finding Text

Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart D – Post Federal Awards Requirements, Standards for Financial and Program Management, and §200.302 (b), Financial Management. The recipients financial management system must provide for identification, in its accounts, of all federal awards received and expended and the federal program under which they were received. Federal program and federal award identification must include, as applicable, the federal assistance listing title and number, federal award identification number, name of the federal agency, and name of the pass-through entity, if any. Additional Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart F – Audit Requirements, §200.510, Financial Statements. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards – The auditee also must prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements, which must include the total federal awards expended, as determined in accordance with §200.502, Basis for Determining Federal Awards Expended. At a minimum, the schedule must provide total federal awards expended for each individual federal program and the federal assistance listing number or other identifying number when the federal assistance listing information is not available. For a cluster of programs, also provide the total for the cluster. Condition: PCRI did not maintain a complete schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Cause: PCRI did not adequately track which government grants were federally-funded, resulting in an incomplete schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Effect: Failure to prepare an accurate and complete schedule of expenditures of federal awards results in noncompliance with 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart D – Post Federal Awards Requirements, Standards for Financial and Program Management, §200.302, Financial Management, and Subpart F – Audit Requirements, §200.510, Financial Statements. Recommendation: We recommend that PCRI document and implement policies and procedures to ensure the schedule of expenditures of federal awards is accurate and complete in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, Subpart D – Post Federal Awards Requirements, Standards for Financial and Program Management, §200.302, Financial Management, and Subpart F – Audit Requirements, §200.510, Financial Statements, in order to obtain accurate calculations of major federal programs for the Single Audit and to ensure that PCRI is in compliance with all of the reporting requirements as to identify the source and application of funds for federally-funded activities.

Corrective Action Plan

While PCRI does have systems in place to adequately track federal expenditures, the preparation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards was delayed in large part due to the deficiencies outlined in Finding 2024-001, which led to delays in accurately compiling the information required for the schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm will resolve this deficiency going forward. The timeline for full transition of relevant accounting processes to the outsourced accounting firm which started in January of 2025 was approximately twelve months due to the complexities of PCRI’s operations. PCRI has completed this transition as of December of 2025.
