Finding Text

2025-005 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Pass Thru Entity: Oklahoma State Department of Education Program: Child and Adult Care Food Program Assistance Listing: 10.558 Grant Period: Year ending June 30, 2025 Compliance Requirement: B. Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Type of Finding: Material Weakness & Non-Compliance Condition: Documentation was not kept for personnel services paid with funds. In addition, supporting documentation was not maintained for allocation of expenditures between food service programs. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.405 require allocable costs in general to be allocated to projects based on proportional benefits. 2 CFR 200.430(g) requires that charges to federal awards for salaries and wages must be base on records that accurately reflect the work performed (Time and Effort). Cause: Failure to understand requirements for federally funded programs. Context: Personnel costs paid with federal funds where personnel work on multiple federal programs must be supported by monthly time and effort records for amounts paid. Allocation of expenditure must also have documentation completed and maintained supporting the split between the federal programs. Effect: Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance Repeat Finding from Prior Year: No Recommendation: We recommend that the District maintain time and effort for employees paid with the federal funds. We also recommend that District document the method used for allocation of costs between programs and maintain the documentation. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The District will implement time and effort documentation for employees paid with federal funds. The District has already implemented allocation process on the Child Nutrition invoices in FY26.
