SEFA Important notes about the SEFA Reconcile to accounting and other records Auditor uses the SEFA to base the performance of risk assessments and selection of major programs Completeness and accuracy is critical 11 UGG Auditee Responsibilities 4. Financial Management System Auditee financial management system must provide for the following (2 CFR 200.302): Identification of all federal awards. Include: Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) title and number Federal award identification number and year Federal awarding agency Pass through entity (PTE), if applicable Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results 12 PASBO Webcast Presentation 7

UGG Auditee Responsibilities 5. Internal Control and Compliance Requirements Establish and maintain internal control over federal programs Comply with federal statutes, regulations, federal awards Evaluate and monitor compliance Take prompt action when non-compliance is identified Safeguard protected personally identifiable information (PPII) 13 Internal Controls Changes Required to establish and maintain effective internal controls over federal programs Section 200.303 (Previously only in single audit requirements) COSO and federal green book tied in although Q&A clarifies usage as best practice 14 PASBO Webcast Presentation 8

Internal Controls Requirements for Written Policy/Procedure: 1. Cash Management Procedure (200.302) 2. Allowability of Costs Procedures (200.302) 3. Conflict of Interest Policy (200.318) 4. Procurement Procedures (200.319) 5. Travel Policy (200.474) 6.

Cost Principles Factors Section Costs must be reasonable (prudent person test) 200.404 Costs must be allocable (charged in accordance with relative benefit received) Costs must be net of applicable credits (purchase discounts, rebates, allowances, recoveries, refunds, adjustments) 200.405 200.406 Certain costs require prior written approval 200.407 Unallowable costs (if identified after paid, must be refunded) 200.410 17 17 Cost Principles Time & Effort Changes Focus on high standards for maintaining strong internal controls to justify costs of salaries and wages Section 200.430 Flexibility in process used to meet those standards 200.430 Personnel activity reports not specifically required focus shifted to appropriate internal controls in place Internal controls must exist to ensure adjustments are made so final amounts charged to federal awards are proper 200.430 200.430 18 18 PASBO Webcast Presentation 10

Considerations Time & Effort Time distribution records must be maintained for all employees: Paid in whole or in part with federal funds Used to meet a match/cost share requirement Cannot be based on budgeted distributions alone needs to be supported by actual hours worked. Budgets may need adjustment. Include all time worked for the organization to calculate what portion relates to federal awards. Nonexempt employees must also prepare records indicating the total number of hours worked each day. In addition to the allocation of time, need to continue to consider controls over existence of employees, reasonableness of compensation If previous system of controls worked well, no changes may be needed. 19 Cost Principles Direct and Indirect Category Direct costs are defined as those costs that can be identified specifically with a particular grant award (or cost objective) Indirect costs are those incurred for a common or joint purpose benefitting more than one cost objective Section 200.413 200.414 20 20 PASBO Webcast Presentation 11

Cost Principles Direct & Indirect Changes Clarification that administrative costs may be treated as direct costs when they meet certain conditions Provision for de minimis indirect rate of 10% of modified total direct costs (MTDC) for those who have never had a negotiated indirect rate For those with negotiated rates, requires federal agencies to accept (usually) Section 200.413 200.414 200.414 Entities may apply for a negotiated rate at any time 200.414 Existing negotiated rates may be extended for up to four years 200.414 Pass through entities required to provide indirect cost rate to subrecipients 200.331 21 Interest on Federal Funds Changes Payment of interest earned on federal funds Up to $500/year may be retained by recipient for administrative costs Amounts in excess of that should be paid to one central federal agency (HHS) Section 200.305 22 PASBO Webcast Presentation 12

Technology & Record Retention Changes Section Defined that computers are considered supplies, not equipment 200.940 Flexibility in electronic document retention, with associated internal controls Grant documentation should be retained for a minimum of 3 years from date of submission of final reports 200.335 200.333 23 New Procurement Standards Effective Date originally December 26, 2014; revised to allow for a grace period Two full fiscal years after the effective date of Uniform Guidance Calendar year grace period ends December 31, 2016 June 30 th fiscal year grace period ends June 30, 2017 Compliance with the old or new standard must be documented each year of the grace period. Auditors will review procurement policies and procedures based on the documented standard. Still a work in process More information to come from PASBO, PSBA, and DFP in the coming months 24 PASBO Webcast Presentation 13

Subrecipient Monitoring Definitions Subrecipient a non Federal entity that receives a subaward from a pass through entity to carry out part of a Federal program Contractor an entity that receives a contract as defined in 200.22 Contract (terminology of vendor no longer used) Pass through entity must make case by case determination whether each agreement it makes for disbursing federal funds is a subrecipient or contractor, which should also be documented. Nature of relationship trumps what the agreement is called! 25 Subrecipient Monitoring Changes Section Heightened focus on subrecipient monitoring 200.331 26 Various required elements of subaward Mandatory risk assessment to determine appropriate monitoring Verify subrecipients have audits, if required Review audit results and adjust pass through entity records, if needed Determine necessary action for subrecipient noncompliance, follow up, issue management decision PASBO Webcast Presentation 14

Subrecipient Risk Assessment & Monitoring Factors to Consider in Evaluating Subrecipient Risk: Prior experience with same or similar subawards Results of previous audits Whether new or substantially changed personnel or systems Extent and results of Federal awarding agency monitoring Monitoring must include: Reviewing financial and performance reports required by the pass through entity Follow up and ensuring timely and appropriate action on deficiencies Issuing a management decision for audit findings 27 Pass Through Entity Requirements Determine if subrecipient or contractor Clearly identify subawards to subrecipients Provide certain subaward information at time of subaward Evaluate each subrecipient s risk of noncompliance Consider imposing specific subaward conditions Monitor activities of subrecipients Verify the subrecipient is audited Consider results of subrecipient audits Consider taking enforcement action for noncompliant subrecipients 28 PASBO Webcast Presentation 15

Single Audit Changes Effective for years ending on and after December 31, 2015; for June 30 th fiscal years, June 30, 2016 (no early implementation) Single audit threshold raised from $500,000 to $750,000 Low risk auditee criteria updated Threshold for Type A program raised from $300,000 to $750,000 Questioned costs threshold raised to $25,000 (known or likely) and requires description of calculation Findings require perspective section (isolated, prevalent, type of sampling used) Repeat findings require identification as repeat and the prior finding reference number 29 What Hasn t Changed? Federal due date is still nine months after fiscal year end. Any future changes would require a change in federal law (not currently proposed). An entity with strong internal controls and few audit findings will likely have fewer high risk Type A programs 30 PASBO Webcast Presentation 16

Has always been important even more so now! What has changed: SEFA Section 200.510 Include total amount provided to subrecipients for each federal program What hasn t changed: Prepared by auditee For the same entity/time period as the basic financial statements Reconciled or reconcilable to underlying accounting records/financial statements 31 SEFA Section 200.510 Include at a Minimum: List individual federal programs by federal agency. For a cluster, list individual federal programs within the cluster Identify the pass through entity and related identification number Include total amount provided to subrecipients for each federal program Provide total federal awards expended by individual program/cluster For loan or loan guarantee programs, identify in the notes to the schedule the balances outstanding at year end Notes to describe the significant accounting policies used in preparing the schedule 32 PASBO Webcast Presentation 17

Coverage Requirements Type of auditee Current (A 133) New (UGG) Not low risk 50% 40% Low risk 25% 20% 33 Tips for Preparing for Your Single Audit Gather and summarize grant information Have an accurate SEFA ready for the auditor Know whether awards are subject to pre Uniform Guidance or Uniform Guidance Document your policies, procedures, and controls Documentation drives quality and compliance Staff working on federal programs need to be trained in Uniform Guidance administrative requirements and cost principles Use resources available such as webinars, articles, etc., to verify management stays up to date on the requirements Review of the OMB Compliance Supplement, contracts, etc. Review the Uniform Guidance FAQs Provides clarifications, effective dates, etc. 34 PASBO Webcast Presentation 18

Tips for Preparing for Your Single Audit File financial and performance reports in a timely manner Late reports often indicate weaknesses in grant management systems Late reports are red flags that may invite scrutiny If auditee is a Pass Through Entity (PTE): Identify all subrecipients Risk assessments Ensure subawards meet requirement Develop monitoring files Site visits Contracts Cross agency information Single audit reports Correspondence on issue resolution 35 Common Audit Findings Lack of written documentation UGG requires written documentation: Cash management Procurement Subrecipient monitoring Conflict of interest Time and effort reporting Travel Payroll time and effort reporting UGG includes strong emphasis on internal controls Review allocation methodologies for compliance 36 PASBO Webcast Presentation 19

Common Audit Findings Federally Purchased Capital Assets Tracking of capital assets required Documentation requirements: Description Serial number or identifying number Source of funding Title Acquisition date Cost % of federal participation Location Use and condition Disposition data 37 Common Audit Findings Subrecipient Contracts Missing required data elements in pass through contracts Lack of risk assessment process Risk assessment must be documented Annual evaluation (re evaluation) Identification of Uniform Guidance Awards Separate identification of pre and post UG awards 38 PASBO Webcast Presentation 20

Polling Question 1 In which Uniform Guidance topic would your organization most like to see additional training? a. Administrative Requirements b. Cost Principles c. Procurement d. Subrecipient Monitoring 39 Part 2: SEA/LEA Requirements Cindy Rhoads UGG Coordinator, Federal Programs Division, PDE 40 PASBO Webcast Presentation 21

SEA Requirements SEA Risk Analysis (200.331(b)) SEA Monitoring (200.331(d )) SEA Performance Reporting (200.328(1)) Required Policies and Procedures 41 SEA Risk Analysis SEA MUST evaluate each subrecipient s risk of noncompliance with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of subrecipient monitoring. Must occur prior to making awards 42 PASBO Webcast Presentation 22

Areas of Risk to Consider Prior experience with same or similar grants Results of previous audits Single Audits Changes in personnel or substantially changed systems Monitoring Findings Any other fiscal/administrative considerations specific to a particular grant (program office discretion) 43 Assessment of Risk Monitoring Tools Additional Technical Assistance On site Reviews of Subrecipient Program Operations Verify every subrecipient is audited as required by Section F of UGG 44 PASBO Webcast Presentation 23

Remedies for Noncompliance Impose additional conditions to grants (200.207) Require payments as reimbursement rather than advanced payments Provide evidence of acceptable performance within a given performance period More detailed financial reports Additional project monitoring Requiring LEA to obtain technical or management assistance Establishing additional prior approvals Must notify subrecipient in writing of the nature, reason, action required and timeline for all additional conditions imposed. 45 Remedies for Noncompliance If additional conditions do not work: Temporarily withhold cash payment pending correction of deficiencies Disallow all or part of the cost of the activity or action not in compliance Wholly or partly suspend or terminate the Federal award Initiate suspension or debarment proceedings Withhold further federal awards for the project or program Take other remedies that are legally available 46 PASBO Webcast Presentation 24

Subrecipient Monitoring SEA must monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the subaward. Pass through monitoring must include: Review of required financial and programmatic reports Follow up and ensuring that the subrecipient takes action on all deficiencies found through monitoring, audits, onsite reviews or other means. Issue management decisions for audit findings. 47 Performance Goals Major change in UGG focuses on performance rather than compliance Subrecipients will be required to submit a performance report for all federal grant programs (Fall 2016) Focus on progress toward meeting performance measures for federal grants If not met, why? Additional information required by Federal awarding agency. 48 PASBO Webcast Presentation 25
