Special Tests & Provisions
OTHER MATTERS

During fiscal year 2020, management had net expenses of $7,140 improperly included on the FY20 SEFA. The out of period expenditures identified during the current year are the result of multiple expenditures across various awards and CFDA?s that were not properly accrued for in the prior year (FY19), which resulted in at least $7,140 recorded in the current year (FY20) related to prior periods. It is noted that when aggregating the out of period expenditures, there is no change to the major program determination in the current or prior year. Cause: Management did not properly accrue for expenditures related to the prior year due to an improper accrual threshold being utilized. This resulted in $7,140 being recorded in the current year?s SEFA that was related to prior periods. Effect: The Conservancy has $7,140 of expenditures improperly included on the FY20 SEFA. Questions Costs: None identified. Recommendation: We recommend that management enhance their SEFA preparation process by ensuring all expenses are recorded in the proper period. Management?s Views and Corrective Action Plan: Refer to the Corrective Action Plan for management?s response and corrective action plan for the finding described above.

Corrective Action Plan

View of Responsible Officials: Finding 2020-001: Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Preparation Management agrees with the finding and notes that the items should have appeared on the fiscal year 2019 SEFA. Management will revisit the existing threshold for purposes of accruals that belong on the SEFA and consider using a lower threshold. Management will also evaluate the need for putting additional procedures in place during fiscal year 2021 to ensure expenses are monitored and reflected in the corresponding fiscal year SEFA. Any additional monitoring procedures will be in place by March 31, 2021.
