Finding 2025-003: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Significant Deficiency) Information on the Federal Program: 93.243 - U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. See Finding 2025-002. Finding 2024-003 is a significant deficiency in internal control over compliance in addition to noncompliance related to the Reporting compliance area. There were no questioned costs related to the preparation of the SEFA. This is a repeat finding.Finding 2025-002: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (Significant Deficiency) Criteria or Specific Requirement: Management is responsible for the complete and fair presentation of the financial statements, including any supplementary information that is presented in relation to the financial statements, such as the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Also, in accordance with 2 CFR Section 200.510 (b)(2), the Council is required to include all direct and pass-through Federal awards expended during the fiscal year in the SEFA. Condition: During the audit, it was noted that pass-through awards from American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry totaling $240,938 for the year ended June 30, 2025, had not been included on the SEFA. In addition, certain adjustments were made to the initial SEFA that was provided. As a result, management provided a revised SEFA after audit testing had begun. Cause: Since this is a repeat finding, the omission of the pass-through awards appears to be an oversight due to the transition in the finance team. However, the adjustments made to the SEFA are related to Finding 2025-001. Effect or Potential Effect: The SEFA was missing Federal expenditures of $240,938 at the start of the audit. The expenditures in the SEFA were adjusted due to the issues with account reconciliations per Finding 2025-001. When the SEFA is not accurately prepared, it could have an effect on the auditor's determination of major programs and on the auditor's sample selections.Recommendation: We recommend that the Council enhance its procedures related to the preparation of the SEFA to ensure all required amounts are included. Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding.
