Finding No. 2022-002: Incomplete Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards?Material Weakness and Material Noncompliance U.S Department of State (19.518) Overseas Refugee Assistance Programs for Western Hemisphere passed through from Asylum Access Criteria: 2 CFR Part 200.510 (b) requires that the Organization must prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the period covered by the auditee's financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.502. In a proper system of internal controls, the Organization is required to have procedures in place that correctly identify federal grants which are required to follow the compliance requirements of 2 CFR Part 200. Cause: The Organization did not properly identify a grant under Assistance Listing Number (ALN) 19.518 as being required to follow the requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 and, as a result, the initial SEFA omitted expenditures received under this grant. Condition: During our audit, we identified a grant under ALN 19.518 that is required to comply with the applicable requirements of 2 CFR Part 200 and thus should have been included in the SEFA. Effect: The Organization did not properly identify the applicability of 2 CFR Part 200 and thus a grant was improperly omitted from the initial SEFA. Once this grant was properly included, the Organization exceeded $750,000 in qualifying federal expenditures thus meeting the requirement for a Uniform Guidance audit to be required. Questioned costs: None Context: The Organization did not have a proper set of internal controls in place to appropriately identify the applicability of 2 CFR Part 200 to all federal awards. Repeat Finding?: No Recommendation: We recommend that management implement policies and procedures to evaluate all grants received to identify federal funding. Views of responsible officials: The Organization agrees with the finding. See corrective action plan.
