Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on January 6, 2026. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by July 6, 2026 (64 days ago).
What is a management decision? →During the audit, audit adjustments were recorded that were material to the financial statements. These adjustments were primarily the result of account balances not being reconciled to supporting schedules or underlying documentation on a timely basis. The errors were not detected and corrected by management’s internal controls prior to the financial statement audit. Additionally, it was discovered that reconciliations for certain account balances and transactions were not being performed and Metro United Way was initially unable to reconcile accounting records. Cause: Reconciliations were not performed timely and review procedures were ineffective in identifying discrepancies between the general ledger and supporting documentation. Effect: Management was required to review effected accounts, transactions, and balances to ensure accuracy. This resulted in audit schedules being updated and adjustments to Metro United Way’s financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2025. Recommendation: Ensure that accounts are being reconciled on a regular basis to ensure that account balances are accurate and financial information is complete prior to reporting. Views of Responsible Officials: Metro United Way, Inc. agrees with the finding and the recommendation noted above has been implemented for fiscal year-end April 30, 2026.

Identifying Number: 2025-001 Finding: During the audit, audit adjustments were recorded that were material to the financial statements. These adjustments were primarily the result of account balances not being reconciled to supporting schedules or underlying documentation on a timely basis. The errors were not detected and corrected by management’s internal controls prior to the financial statement audit. Additionally, it was discovered that reconciliations for certain account balances and transactions were not being performed and Metro United Way was initially unable to reconcile accounting records. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The reconciliations were being performed by a single staff member who terminated during the year. Upon that member’s departure, the reconciliation process ceased and as a result grant revenues and expenditures were not aligned in the financial statements at the time of the audit. This also created misclassifications in other areas of the financial statements. MUW plans to allocate existing staff resources to reconcile all federal grants to ensure that future grant revenues and expenses are properly recorded in the financial statements. Client Responsible Party(s): Phillip Bond, Chief Financial Officer, Jeremy Jarvi, Chief Development Officer Completion Date: April 30, 2026
During the audit, it was discovered that both revenues and expenditures related to federal awards were not properly reconciled. Cause: Metro United Way did not have a process in place at fiscal year-end to ensure that federal award accounts were monitored and accounting records were reconciled timely and agreed to underlying supporting documentation. Effect: Management was required to review revenues and expenditures related to certain grants to ensure amounts were recorded in the correct accounts and to ensure the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) was accurate. This resulted in adjustments to Metro United Way’s financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2025. 2025-002 Reconciliation of Federal Award Expenditures and Revenues (Continued) Recommendation: Implement and document processes to reconcile federal award accounts monthly and review SEFA prior to audit. Views of Responsible Officials: Metro United Way, Inc. agrees with the finding and the recommendation noted above will implement for fiscal year-end April 30, 2026.

Effect: Management restated the financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2023, to correct the overstatement. The adjustments reduced pledges receivable, revenue, and change in net assets by approximately $2,260,000, as compared to the balances previously reported as of April 30, 2023.
