Finding Text

2022-001 ? Uniform Guidance Written Policies Criteria: Under the Uniform Guidance ?200.302 Financial Management, the non-Federal entity must provide written procedures to implement the requirements of ?200.305 (Federal payment), and written procedures for determining the allowability of costs in accordance with subpart E of the Uniform Guidance and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: The City currently does not have written procedures as required by the Uniform Guidance as specified in the criteria. Cause: Although the City has adequate procedures in place to prevent non-compliance for most of its Federal grants, those procedures have not been documented. Effect: Without written procedures, the City runs the risk of non-compliance for Federal grants. Known Questioned Costs: None Likely Questioned Costs: None Recommendations: Although the City has implemented some written procedures and policies, it has not developed written procedures for all required areas or for all federal grants. We recommend that all departments that administer federal grants develop the required written procedures and policies.
