Finding Details

Criteria – Grant drawdowns should be based on actual costs incurred and not requested in advance of the expenditure. Condition and Description – During our procedures we noted drawdowns of approximately $184,000 made in advance of the expenditure being incurred. The Academy did ultimately incur the costs and did not bill in excess of total costs but due to the timing of the drawdowns, this is reported as a cash management finding. Questioned Costs - None
