Condition On the impact aid application for 2021-2022, there were multiple lines of financial data that were incorrectly reported using numbers from the wrong fiscal year. Questioned Costs None Cause The District missed some input factors when running the general ledger reports and therefore missed a few general ledger accounts that should have been included in the financial data reported.
