Full Status Report: The 2017-18 SEFA report has been revised to reflect the proper classification of subrecipient expenditures for the WIC program. Through coordination between the Fiscal Management Group (FMG) and the Division of Nutrition (DON), the department is now ensuring that the correct classification of these expenses is being identified in future SEFA reports. The process for reporting is that The Bureau of Accounts Management (BAM) staff follow the instructions provided by The Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) on the instructions tab in the SEFA package each year. The added enhancement was requiring Program confirmation of payments, specifically the amounts to subrecipients. This is facilitated via email through the assigned Bureau of Budget
