Cost Allowability
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYQUESTIONED COSTS

During the year ended September 30, 2023, a transaction for an unallowable cost was reported in the Organization's accounting records for a Federal program. Criteria: The non-Federal entity, per 2 CFR 200.303(a), "Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award." Cause: The Organization's internal control over compliance with Uniform Guidance did not prevent nor detect and correct an unallowable transaction relating to a Federal award. Effect: An unallowable cost was reported under the Federal program. Upon identification from the auditor, reasonable action was taken to replace the unallowable expenditure from the underlying accounting records for the Federal program. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization adhere to internal control requirements prescribed under Uniform Guidance, specifically, 2 CFR 200.303. Other Issues: See the following pages for the Corrective Action Plan and the Summary Schedule of Prior Audit Findings.

Period of Performance
MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

During our testing, we noted transactions were charged to the grant that were incurred prior to the approved budget period of the federal award's period of performance. Questioned costs: $1,821 Context: We noted three transactions which were incurred in August or September of 2020 and charged to the grant for the period of performance that began October 1, 2020. Cause: Management indicated the invoices were received late and charged to the grant. There were not proper procedures in place to prevent these transactions from being charged to the grant when outside of the period of performance. Effect: Expenses were charged to a grant which were not allowable. Recommendation: We recommend management implement procedures so that transactions outside the period of performance cannot be charged to a grant. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
