The Organization excluded certain amounts from prior years' schedule of expenditures of federal awards. The amounts excluded for the prior two years are as follows: See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table. Questioned Costs - None Identification of How Questioned Costs Were Computed -N/A Context - The Organization mistakenly misclassified these grants as non-federal awards in prior years as follows. The exclusion of the activity would not have affected major program determination in those years. Total Federal Expenditures: See Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs for chart/table. Cause and Effect - In prior years, the Organization did not have proper controls in place over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards to prevent a material error from occurring. The prior year Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards were understated by the amounts in the Error column of the Context section above. Recommendation - The Organization should improve controls by implementing a review of grants and a determination of whether they are federal or nonfederal by program managers. Views of Responsible Officials and Corrective Action Plan - During the year, the Organization created and hired for a new position, Director of Financial Analysis and Internal Controls/Contracts to provide additional oversight over the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The control is now in place and working as of the issuance of the audit.
