Title: BASIS OF PRESENTATION Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement. Negative amounts shown on the Schedule represent adjustments or credits made in the normal course of business to amounts reported as expenditures in prior years. De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Dunseith Public School District No. 1 has not elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The accompanying Schedule includes the federal award activity of Dunseith Public School District No. 1 under programs of the federal government for the year ended June 30, 2022. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of Dunseith Public School District No. 1, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position or changes in net position of the District.

Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.

De Minimis Rate Used: N Rate Explanation: Dunseith Public School District No. 1 has not elected to use the 10-percent de minimis indirect cost rate as allowed under the Uniform Guidance. The District receives commodities through the food distribution program and the assistance is valued at the fair value of the commodities received and disbursed.
Title: PASS-THROUGH ENTITIES Accounting Policies: Expenditures reported on the schedule of expenditures of federal awards (the "Schedule") are reported on the accrual basis of accounting. Such expenditures are recognized following the cost principles contained in the Uniform Guidance, wherein certain types of expenditures are not allowable or are limited as to reimbursement.

Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Program Information Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Education Title: Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies AL Number: 84.010 Criteria The District must document employee time and effort spent in the Title I program, if under 100% time spent. Furthermore, a system of internal controls would have an entity file all approved wags in the employee personal file.

Allowable Costs/Cost Principles Federal Program Information Funding Agency: U.S. Department of Education Title: Education Stabilization Fund AL Number: 84.425 Criteria A system of good internal controls would have an entity to file all approved wages in the employee personal file and approve all transactions. Condition Supporting documentation for approved staff wages was missing for 11 employees out of the 40 transactions tested. We also noted 1 non-payroll transaction that did not have the proper approval. Questioned Costs Undeterminable Context In a population over 250, 40 transactions were selected for testing. Of the 40 transactions selected, 26 transactions were non-payroll and 14 transactions were payroll. Out of the 26 non-payroll transactions, 1 did not have the proper approval. Also, out of 14 payroll transactions, 11 were missing documentation to support approval of the wage rate. . Effect Employees may not be compensated the correct amount. There is also an increased risk of unallowable non-payroll transactions being charged to the program. Cause Management oversight.
