AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Village requested reimbursement for an expense that was already covered by a vendor credit, violating federal guidelines.

  • Recommended Follow-Up: The Village should strengthen internal controls to ensure credits are accounted for properly and not included in reimbursement requests.

Finding Text

Federal Agencies: Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Assistance Listing Numbers: 14.241 Program: Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS, COVID-19 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS Award/Pass-Through Entity Identifying Numbers: 558951 Criteria: The Uniform Guidance in 2 CFR §200.406 requires that non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards must reduce the funds requested by any applicable credits. Per 2 CFR §200.406 Applicable Credits: “(a) Applicable credits refer to those receipts or reduction-of-expenditure-type transactions that offset or reduce expense items allocable to the Federal award as direct or indirect (F&A) costs. Examples of such transactions are: purchase discounts, rebates or allowances, recoveries or indemnities on losses, insurance refunds or rebates, and adjustments of overpayments or erroneous charges. To the extent that such credits accruing to or received by the non-Federal entity relate to allowable costs, they must be credited to the Federal award either as a cost reduction or cash refund, as appropriate.” Condition: During our testing over nonpayroll costs, for one out of 60 selections, the Village requested reimbursement for an eligible expenditure. However, the item was reimbursed by the vendor through a credit to the Village’s account from an item previously reimbursed. The original credit was required to be returned to the grantor upon receipt. Cause: The Village did not maintain internal control procedures to ensure that credits reduced the funds requested. Effect or Potential Effect: The Village charged through expenditures that were not appropriately reduced by vendor credits, which could result in disallowances or costs reimbursed in excess of costs incurred. Questioned Costs: None above the $25,000 reporting threshold. Context: This is a condition identified per review of the Village’s compliance with specified requirements not using a statistically valid sample. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the Village implements internal controls to ensure any credits are not requested for reimbursement or are refunded, as appropriate, to the Federal agency. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the finding. Management will enhance and enforce existing policies over the proper treatment of credit memos obtained and the timely return of funds to the grantor.
