Cost Allowability
QUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

The School transferred salary expenses from Fund 10 to Fund 20 and charged $200,000 of salary expenses to the Education and Stabilization Funds (CARES) Grant. There is no evidence that the salary expenses directly address preparedness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic situation as is the requirement of the grant. We questioned $200,000 because the expenditures were not in compliance with grant requirements. Cause: The School was unaware of the allowable expense requirements for this grant, as described in the grant?s compliance supplement, resulting in these unallowable expenditures charged to the grant. Effect: The grant was overcharged with non allowable expenses. Questioned Costs: $200,000 Context: The instance of non compliance is considered to be non-systematic and the result of improper understanding of the requirements of this new grant. Recommendations: Management should establish procedures and controls to ensure that grant compliance requirements are carefully reviewed and understood prior to submitting expenditures for reimbursement.
