2 CFR § 400.1 gives regulatory effect to the Department of Agriculture for 2 CFR §200.302(b)(3) which provides that the financial management system of each non-Federal entity must provide for records that identify adequately the source and application of funds for federally- funded activities. These records must contain information pertaining to federal awards, authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, assets, expenditures, income and interest and be supported by source documentation. 2 CFR § 200.303 requires that non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards (i.e., auditee management) establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. 7 CFR §§ 210.7(c), 210.8(c), and 225.9(d)) provide that at a minimum, a claim must include the number of reimbursable meals/milk served by category and type during the period (generally a month) covered by the claim. All meals claimed for reimbursement must (a) be of types authorized by the school food authority’s, institution’s, or sponsor’s administering agency; (b) be served to eligible children; and (c) be supported by accurate meal counts and records indicating the number of meals served by category and type. Eleven percent of the site claim form submissions during fiscal year 2023 were underreported, resulting in an under-reimbursement of $9,043. These errors occurred due to a weakness in internal controls, which failed to ensure site claim forms for reimbursable meals served at each building and submitted by the District to the Ohio Department of Education were entered correctly. The District should implement policies and procedures to help ensure that monthly site claim forms are reviewed and submitted to reflect actual counts for reimbursable meals served. Further, measures should be taken to ensure staff completing the site claim forms are adequately trained.
