Finding Text
Condition: As a result of our audit procedures and review of the SEFA, we proposed
multiple adjustments to the SEFA, which resulted in a material change in total
expenditures of federal awards.
Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200
Cause: Oversight by management, and there was not an independent review of the
SEFA prepared by someone other than the preparer.
Effect: Audit adjustments were required for the SEFA to be materially correct in
accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.510(b).
Recommendation: We recommend that prior to sending the SEFA to the auditors,
management performed a detailed review of the SEFA, general ledger, and monthly
invoicing spreadsheets for each federal program included on the SEFA, to ensure the
reports are consistent and the SEFA is complete and accurate. If possible, this review
should be completed by an individual who did not prepare the SEFA and who has the
appropriate skills, knowledge and experience of accounting and reporting in the
nonprofit industry.
View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Action: Management agrees with
the finding. See corrective action plan.
