Finding Text
--Type of Finding: Material weakness in internal control over compliance
--Criteria: The Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200, subpart F) states it is the responsibility of the Organization’s management to ensure internal controls are properly designed and implemented in order to identify federal awards and expenditures of federal awards and to prepare a schedule of expenditures of federal awards (SEFA) that includes the total federal awards expended, as determined in accordance with § 200.502.
--Condition and Context: While performing audit procedures, we identified two federal subawards that were not previously identified as such by management and had not been included on the SEFA for the year ended September 30, 2024 as originally presented for audit. The SEFA was subsequently corrected prior to issuance of the audit. The original SEFA was materially misstated due to the exclusion of expenditures under the federal subawards totaling $379,232.
--Cause of Condition: Management failed to identify the agreements as federal subawards and the related expenditures for inclusion on the SEFA.
--Effect of Condition: Failure to accurately identify all federal awards could cause the SEFA to be materially misstated and the performance of an insufficient major federal award programs audit.
--Questioned Costs: None.
--Repeat Finding: No.
--Recommendation: We recommend the organization revisit its policies and procedures surrounding management’s review of grant and other contractual agreements to ensure all federal assistance, including subawards, are properly identified as such at the time the agreements are signed or received, and are properly included on the SEFA.
--Views of Responsible Officials: See attached Corrective Action Plan.
