CDE Response
• • • •
OMB A-87, in Appendix A to Part 225 - General Principles
for Determining Allowable Costs, discusses general principles for determining Allowable Costs and in Subsection C discusses basic guidelines - factors affecting allowability of costs. It states, in part, "To be allowable under Federal awards, costs must meet the following general criteria: a. Be necessary and reasonable for proper and efficient performance and administration of Federal awards.
e. Be consistent with policies, regulations, and procedures that apply uniformly to both Federal awards and other activities of the governmental unit.
j. Be adequately documented."
The CDE interprets it to mean that as long as the grantee and/or the contractors are able to document and demonstrate that a particular event is a part of the education plan, it should be allowed. However, it is for the auditor to review the evidence provided and use his/her professional judgment to determine if the cost adequately documented, necessary and reasonable for the particular event.
The CDE recommends that the grantee and/or the subcontractor ensures to clearly document the particular event and how it relates to the education aspect of the program plan. Hopefully, this takes out any ambiguity of the cost being considered an entertainment cost and the in the auditor's professional judgment, it can be determined to be a program allowable cost.
