Finding Text

Program Name: Federal Transit Cluster CFDA No.: 20.500/20.507/20.525 Federal Grantor: U.S. Department of Transportation Award No. and Year: Various Compliance Requirements: Other Type of Finding: Material Weakness in Internal Control and Instance of Non-Compliance Criteria: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) requires non-federal entities receiving federal awards to prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) showing both the total federal expenditures and amounts passed through to subrecipients for the year. Per Title 2 CFR 200.502, the determination of when a Federal award must be expended must be based on when the activity related to the Federal award occurs. Generally, the activity pertains to events that require the non-Federal entity to comply with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards, such as: expenditure/expense transactions associated with awards including grants, cost-reimbursement contracts under the FAR, compacts with Indian Tribes, cooperative agreements, and direct appropriations; the disbursement of funds to subrecipients; the use of loan proceeds under loan and loan guarantee programs; the receipt of property; the receipt of surplus property; the receipt or use of program income; the distribution or use of food commodities; the disbursement of amounts entitling the non-Federal entity to an interest subsidy; and the period when insurance is in force. Condition: SCRRA reported expenditures on the current year SEFA that were previously reported as expenditures on the prior year SEFA. Cause: SCRRA did not have adequate internal controls in place to ensure total federal expenditures were appropriately reported on the SEFA. Effect: Prior to the correction, the total federal expenditures on the SEFA was overstated by $3,098,000. Questioned Costs: None Context/Sampling: No sampling was used; program expenditures on the SEFA were reconciled to supporting records. Repeat Finding from Prior Year(s): No Recommendation: We recommend SCRRA enhance controls to ensure federal expenditures are accurately reported on the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials: Management Agrees. See separate corrective action plan.
