Finding Details

Reporting. All quarterly expenditure reports should be filed within 20 days after the quarter ends. We noted that 2 out of the 16 expenditure reports were not filed timely. No questioned costs. The 1st quarter expenditure reports for ESSER II & ESSER Digital Equity were filed 13 days late. The District did not timely file all of their federal expenditure reports for ESSER II and ESSER Digital Equity. This was an oversight by management personnel at the District. We recommend that care if taken to ensure all reports are filed by their due dates. Management will take steps to remind themselves to file all quarterly expenditures reports on time.
Reporting. To determine that accurate quarterly expenditure reports were filed with the Illinois State Board of Education. We noted during ESSER III expenditure testing that the District was reimbursed for duplicated expenditures reported on the 3rd and 4th quarter expenditure reports. Questioned costs of $7,300. When comparing the expenditure reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Education for ESSER III grant funds, it was noted that an expenditure was claimed on the 3rd quarter expenditure report under a preliminary function but was claimed for reimbursement again on the 4th quarter expenditure report under another function. The School District did not file accurate expenditure reports at March 31, 2022 or June 30, 2022. This was an oversight by management personnel at the District. The District should compare and reconcile the expenditure reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Education with the general ledger before submitting. Management will take steps to compare and reconcile the expenditure reports filed with the general ledger before submitting.
