Columbus Urban League Claimed Some Unallowable Costs to Head Start.

摘要

The objective was to determine whether costs claimed by the grantee were allowable under the terms of the grant and applicable Federal regulations and to determine whether the grantees financial management practices and systems met Federal requirements. Of the $177,886 in direct costs that we reviewed, the grantee claimed $164,784 that was allowable under the terms of the grants and applicable Federal regulations. However, the grantee claimed Federal reimbursement of as much as $13,102 for unreasonable costs associated with travel and attendance at an out-of-State conference. In addition, although the grantee generally followed an acceptable methodology for allocating administrative and executive staff salaries, it inappropriately used a 2-week time period when calculating its monthly employee activity.
