6 Contract Provisions Pursuant to Provision 7.C of Exhibit B of the Contract, “If the allowability or appropriateness of an expense cannot be determined by the State because invoice detail, fiscal records, or backup documentation is nonexistent or inadequate according to generally accepted accounting principles or practices, all questionable costs may be disallowed and payment may be withheld by the State. Upon receipt of adequate documentation supporting a disallowed or questionable expense, reimbursement may resume for the amount substantiated and deemed allowable.”
7 Contract Provisions Pursuant to Exhibit D(F), Provision 7.A, Audit and Record Retention of the Contract, “The Contractor and/or Subcontractor shall maintain books, records, documents, and other evidence, accounting procedures and practices, sufficient to properly reflect all direct and indirect costs of whatever nature claimed to have been incurred in the performance of this agreement, including any matching costs and expenses.”
8 GAAP The PAR is based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) – GAAP are guidelines that include standards, conventions, and rules accountants commonly follow in recording and summarizing business transactions, and in the preparation and presentation of financial statements
9 Expenditure Documentation Review Beginning with Fiscal Year , the Office of Family Planning (OFP) will select approximately 1/3 of all CCG Grantees for the first quarter, 1/3 of all CCG Grantees for the second quarter, and 1/3 of all CCG Grantees for the third quarter to submit supporting documentation with their quarterly invoice. The quarterly invoice will be submitted on agency letterhead based on the current submission schedule along with supporting expenditure documentation to the Contract Manager. Documentation submission dates: First Quarter: November 1 Second Quarter: February 1 Third Quarter: May 1 These documents may be requested more than once a year. All CCG Grantees must maintain all documents for review and audit for three years from the date of final payment under their Agreement, unless there are issues that need to be resolved, in which case the records shall be retained until completion of the action and resolution of all issues which arise from it, whichever is longer. Adequate documentation of all expenditures claimed will be provided to OFP to determine if they are allowable.
10 PAR Expenditure Documentation Review PERSONNEL Employee time recording documents (i.e. timesheet, time cards, time study and payroll schedule based on Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). All CCG Grantees must maintain documentation which provides linking documents that aggregate and summarize, by each Employee, the hours worked by activity on the Grant, and that such documentation will be maintained on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, so it clearly supports the allocation methodology used to distribute salaries and benefits and the actual personnel service costs billed to the Grant.
11 Expenditure Documentation Review Process Selected Grantees will receive a formal notification from their Contract Manager to submit the supporting documentation with their quarterly invoice. Once the documentation has been reviewed, Grantees will receive one of three notifications from their Contract Manager: 1.Documentation is adequate, reimbursement is allowable. 2.Documentation is inadequate, additional information is requested. 3.Documentation is nonexistent or inadequate, reimbursement has been disallowed.
