Federal Program(s): Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities (ALN 20.513) Agencies: U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Transit Administration Criteria - 2 CFR §200.510: Auditee must prepare an accurate SEFA including ALN, program name, award number, award year, pass-through number, and total expenditures. 2 CFR §200.332: Pass-through entities must identify the ALN in all subaward documents. 2 CFR §200.303: Auditees must establish and maintain effective internal controls over federal awards. Condition - During our audit of ENVIDA’s federal programs, we identified an internal control deficiency affecting the accuracy of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Context - The issue stems from the Envida's need to formalize documented procedures and adequate review over the SEFA preparation process, as well as the need to implement controls for verifying federal award information received from pass-through entities. Specifically, ENVIDA’s SEFA included initial misstatements, including erroneous reporting of $61,576 in required matched funds as federal expenditures (which they were not), the inclusion of $79,225 in OnDemand expenditures that were not federally funded (incorrect information from passthrough entity), and a $45,403 posting error that misclassified expenditures between grant years. These errors resulted in a material overstatement of the SEFA federal expenditures as originally prepared. Management corrected these errors during the audit process. Cause - Due to lack of funding information provided in the contracts with a major passthrough entity, Envida is unable to verify accuracy of federal funding information contemporaneously. For 2024, incomplete or inaccurate information from pass-through entities, coupled with the absence of formalized internal controls to verify and document federal award details, led to initial errors in SEFA reporting. Contracts with the pass-through entity, Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG), did not include the required Assistance Listing Numbers (ALNs), which contributed to the confusion and misreporting. These deficiencies are inconsistent with the requirements of 2 CFR §200.510(b), §200.303, and §200.332(a)(1), which collectively mandate accurate SEFA reporting, proper identification of federal awards, and internal controls over federal funding. Effect - SEFA initially overstated by 15.5% due to match and OnDemand errors. FY24 award overstated by 17.5%; FY25 award understated by 14.6% Potential audit coverage gaps and risk misassessment under 2 CFR §200.518. Recommendation - We recommend that ENVIDA establish and document clear procedures for the preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) as well as for the proper classification of accounts receivable. In addition, ENVIDA should implement a supervisory review process to help ensure accuracy and compliance with federal requirements. To further strengthen controls, all subaward agreements should require written confirmation of the Assistance Listing Numbers (ALNs). Finally, ENVIDA should verify federal award information directly against official federal award notices prior to preparing the SEFA. Views of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Action - Management has agreed with the finding and plans to revise the SEFA to reflect accurate federal expenditures. They will work with pass-through entities to ensure future subaward documentation includes all required federal award identifiers and will implement internal controls to prevent recurrence.

Finding summary: an internal control deficiency affecting the accuracy of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Responsible department: Finance and PPACG Contact person: Finance Corrective action plan: As of 2025 SEFA internally will be prepared by Grant coordinator and review by Finance. Envida will ensure that all appropriate ALNs and Federal identifications and amounts are included on the contracts. Envida will implement a process for all appropriate department directors, including CEO to sign off on each grant received. Timeline for completion: Dec 31 2025 Monitoring plan: Monthly Review with Grant coordinator Anticipated outcome: SEFA will reflect accurate federal expenditures.
