Finding Details

Finding No. 2023-004 Significant Deficiency: Equipment and Real Property Management – Compliance and Control Finding ALN 84.425 – COVID-19: Education Stabilization Fund Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Pass-Through Entity: Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education Criteria Or Specific Requirement: According to Uniform Guidance, 2 CFR Section 200.313 (d)(2), a physical inventory of the property must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years. Condition: The District did not perform a physical inventory over a two-year period. The District does not have controls in place to ensure bi-annual inventories will be performed to capture equipment purchase with federal funds. Cause: The District did maintain a property and equipment listing for federally funded purchases, however, there was no support a bi-annual inventory was performed.

Effect Or Potential Effect: The District is not in compliance with the Uniform Guidance compliance requirements regarding equipment management. Questioned Costs: Not applicable.
