Issue: Nonfederal salary funds were improperly used to satisfy matching requirements for multiple federal awards at the same time.
Trend: This practice could lead to compliance risks and potential funding penalties if not addressed.
Follow-up: Review and adjust funding practices to ensure that nonfederal salaries are allocated correctly for each federal award.
Finding Text
The nonfederal portion of salaries was used to meet match requirements for several federal awards simultaneously.
Corrective Action Plan
Management acknowledges the recommendation and will track all expenses allocated by match funds by grant year in the same spreadsheet. Note - Auditors were provided with documentation showing salary allocations verifying that no salaries were used simultaneously across grants.
