Finding Text

2022-001 ? Uniform Guidance Written Procedures 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 School Unit currently does not have written procedures as required by the Uniform Guidance as specified in the criteria. Cause: Although the School Unit 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 School Unit runs the risk of non-compliance for Federal grants. Known Questioned Costs: None Likely Questioned Costs: None Recommendations: The School Unit should review its Federal grants and determine which grants need specific written procedures to meet the Uniform Guidance requirements.

Corrective Action Plan

Management response/corrective action: The management of RSU #57 agrees that there are procedures in place relative to the criteria mentioned but that these procedures are not in writing. The Finance Director has therefore documented these procedures in writing so that they are available for any future audits.
