Cash Management
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYQUESTIONED COSTS

In May 2023, the Corporation received a $1,425,000 advance of federal funds. The grant agreement and federal regulations require the funds to be held in a separate interest-bearing account until expended. In December 2023, the Corporation made an endowment draw receipt of which was delayed by the investment manager. As a result, the total unrestricted cash was less than the unspent grant funds. This was cured on January 2, 2024, when the endowment draw of approximately $300,000 was received. Criteria: Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR § 200.305(b) - Cash Management, requires a recipient that receives an advance of federal funds to maintain the funds in a separate interest-bearing account. Furthermore, recipients must limit the use of the advanced federal funds to only those purposes outlined in the award agreement, and the funds must not be used for general operations or other non-compliant purposes. Cause: The Corporation’s endowment draw was delayed by the investment manager resulting in a period of time where grant funds were used for non-grant expenditures. Effect: The delay in receipt of the requested endowment draw resulted in the Corporation’s total unrestricted cash balance falling below unspent grant funds for a period of time from mid-December 2023 through January 2, 2024. This indicates that grants funds were temporarily used for general operations. Questioned Costs: As of December 31, 2023, $119,984 was utilized to fund general operations. Those grant funds were reimbursed on January 2, 2024. Recommendation: We recommend the Corporation rely upon other funding sources for operations if this situation occurs in the future.
