AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Federal expenditures were reported under the wrong Assistance Listing Number, affecting accuracy.
  • Impacted Requirements: Compliance with 2 CFR 200.510, which mandates correct reporting of expenditures by Assistance Listing Number.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Review all grants to ensure correct Assistance Listing Numbers are used, reconciling with grantor reports or confirming directly with grantors.

Finding Text

Condition: Certain Federal expenditures were reported under the incorrect Assistance Listing Number. For one grant, the expenditures were listed under ALN 14.218. Based on the grant agreement and reimbursement reports, the expenditures should have been listed under ALN 21.023 with only a portion listed under ALN 14.218. Criteria: Northpoint Health and Wellness is responsible to report federal expenditures on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards according to 2 CFR 5 200.510. It requires that the Organization report expenditures according to their Assistance Listing Number. Cause: The SEFA was not properly reconciled with Federal expenditures for one grant. Effect: The effect would be incorrect repotting of Federal expenditures. Context: This appears to be an isolated instance because of the grant's specific complexities. Recommendation: We recommend that all grants are examined to determine the correct Assistance Listing Numbers. Each grant's Assistance Listing Number(s) may be reconciled to grantor provided reports, or by direct confirmation with the grantor. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding.

Corrective Action Plan

The finance department of NorthPoint Wellness Center Inc. is incorporating as part of the annual financial closing process a reconciliation directly with the grantors to confirm the financial expenditures, contract agreements and to determine the correct Assistance Listing Numbers (ALN). The reconciliation must be completed by January 20th following the close of the fiscal year, as well as at the end of the contract period. A Government Contract Reconciliation template has been created as part of the verification process and supporting documentation for the grantee organization.
