THIS FINDING IS: New FINDING TYPE: Internal Control DEFICIENCY TYPE: Significant Deficiency Federal Program Name and Year: Education Stabilization Fund - 2022 Project No.: 20-4998-ER AL No.: 84.425D Passed Through: Illinois State Board of Education Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Criteria or specific requirement (including statutory, regulatory, or other citation): The District is required to report grant expenditures in accordance with the Illinois State Board of Education State and Federal Grant Administration Policy and Fiscal Requirements and Procedures and the ISBE Illinois Program Account Manual, which is consistent with the provisions of the Uniform Guidance. According to Uniform Guidance, Title 2 CFR 200.516, the District is required to maintain internal control over Federal programs that provide reasonable assurance that the Auditee is managing Federal awards in compliance with laws, regulations, and provisions of contracts or grant agreements that could have a material effect on each of its Federal programs. Under Uniform Guidance, Title 2 CFR 200.501, a non-Federal entity that expends $750,000 or more during the entity's fiscal year in Federal awards must have a single audit conducted for that year. Condition: The District overstated expenditures on the ESSER I June 30, 2021 expenditure report. Questioned Costs: The ESSER I 2020 project year's June 30, 2021 expenditure report included $10,678 of questioned costs. Purchased Services were overstated by $2,300, Supplies and Materials were overstated by $6,035, and Capital Outlay was overstated by $2,343 when compared to the accounting records. Context: The ESSER I 2020 project year's June 30, 2021 expenditure report included $10,678 of questioned costs. Purchased Services were overstated by $2,300, Supplies and Materials were overstated by $6,035, and Capital Outlay was overstated by $2,343 when compared to the accounting records. Effect: Expenditures reported on the final project expenditure report were overstated by $10,678. Excluding the $10,678 of overstated expenditures from the calculation of over all expenditures of federal awards resulted in the district expending less than $750,000 of federal awards during the year ended June 30, 2021 and thereby not being subject to the Uniform Guidance/Single Audit provisions. Cause: ESSER I 2020 project year's final expenditures were reported in error. Recommendation: Grant expenditures should be reviewed and reconciled back to the accounting records prior to submitting final reports; ISBE grants division should be contacted regarding this discrepancy. Management's response: The District agrees that the expenditures claimed on the June 30, 2021 expenditure report was overstated by $10,678 and in the future will review and reconcile the expenditure reports to the accounting records before submitting to ISBE.
