Finding Text

Uniform Guidance §200.510 requires the auditee to prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) in accordance with §200.502. Community Resource Center, Inc. prepared several versions of the SEFA that erroneously included expenditures that were not part of the federal funds reimbursed.

Corrective Action Plan

Community Resource Center, Inc. acknowledges the finding and recommendation.

Community Resource Center, Inc. will provide Uniform Guidance training to finance staff by June 2025, ensuring familiarity with SEFA requirements.
