Criteria 2 CFR 200.510 Financial statements require auditees to prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (the “Schedule”) for the period covered by the auditee’s financial statements, which must include in the total Federal Awards expensed as determined in accordance with 2 CFR 200.502. The information presented should be consistent with the accounting records and other federal guidance. Cause The cause of the finding was due to insufficient review of the Schedule.
