Finding Text
Condition - The Town Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards presented for audit excluded the Federal Lands Access Program expenditures totaling $153,408 as well as the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds totaling $497,974. The Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards has been corrected to account for these programs that were excluded. Criteria - Uniform Guidance §200.510 states that an auditee must “prepare a schedule of expenditures of Federal awards for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements which must include the total Federal awards expended”. Cause - When preparing the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards Town management overlooked these federal awards. Effect - The Town’s Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards excluded these two federal programs with a combined total of $651,382. Recommendation - We recommend that the Town closely review the grant agreements it has in place and verify that all federal programs with expenditures for the given fiscal year are included on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards.
