Management partially disagrees with the characterization of the finding. The Organization had an established cost allocation methodology in place and provided documentation outlining the allocation basis and percentages applied to shared nonpayroll costs. The allocation methodology was reasonable, consistently applied, and based on operational usage. The matter identified during audit testing relates to a difference in interpretation regarding the allocation percentage applied to certain costs. The federal project expected 100% allocation of specific costs directly to the program, whereas the Organization allocated costs proportionally based on a documented cost allocation methodology. The variance was not due to a lack of methodology, but rather a disagreement regarding the appropriate allocation basis under the specific award expectations.
