Condition: During our testing of the ED-209 reports, we noted that some of the key line items for the reports did not tie to the Organization's supporting documentation. Questioned Costs: None Context: While performing audit procedures, it was noted that management does not have internal controls in place to document the review of the ED-209 reports to supporting documentation.

Repeat Finding: Repeat of Finding 2022-004 Effect: The ED-209 reports may be misstated.
