MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE AND MATERIAL NONCOMPLIANCE – U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION – PASSED THROUGH MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION, COVID-19 – EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND, FEDERAL ALN 84.425
2023-002 Internal Control Over Compliance and Material Noncompliance With Equipment and Real Property Management Requirements
Criteria – 2 CFR § 200.313 (c)(1) and (d)(1) requires that Aurora Charter School (the School) obtain approval from the federal funding agency or pass-through agency prior to the purchase of equipment with federal funding.
Condition – During our audit, we noted the School did not have sufficient controls in place within the Education Stabilization Fund federal program to assure compliance with federal equipment and real property management requirements, resulting in material noncompliance.
Questioned Costs – None.
Context – The School did not obtain approval from the federal funding agency or pass through agency prior to purchasing equipment with a total value of $44,005 using federal funds.
Repeat Finding – This is a current year and prior year finding.
Cause – This condition was due to a misunderstanding of the individual item value for which federally funded equipment purchases were required to be preapproved and tracked.
Effect – Noncompliance with the equipment and real property management could be viewed as a violation of the award agreement and result in loss of funds.
Recommendation – We recommend that the School review its internal control procedures to ensure future compliance with the federal compliance requirements specific to equipment and real property management for the COVID-19 – Education Stabilization Fund federal program.
View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Actions – The School agrees with the finding. The School intends to revise its internal capitalization threshold to align with the federal threshold, and to review its other control procedures relating to equipment and real property management requirements to ensure compliance for future federal awards expenditures. The School has separately issued a Corrective Action Plan related to this finding.

MATERIAL WEAKNESS IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE – SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
2023-003 Reporting Compliance Requirement
Criteria – 2 CFR § 200.510 requires that the School prepare appropriate financial statements, including the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) for the year ended June 30, 2023, which must include the total federal awards expended as determined in accordance with 2 CFR § 200.502. Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal controls over compliance with requirements applicable to federal programs, including separately tracking federal expenditures within the finance system to provide for accurate preparation of the SEFA.
Condition – During our audit, we noted the School did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure completeness of the SEFA and compliance with this requirement. The School’s SEFA was understated by $507,980 in federal expenditures related to the Comprehensive Literacy Development federal program.
Questioned Costs – Not applicable.
Context – On the June 30, 2023 SEFA, $507,980 of $2,047,040 was initially not reported.
Cause – This was an oversight by school personnel.
Repeat Finding – This is a current year finding.
Effect – An incomplete SEFA could result in incorrect major program determination and could be seen as a violation of federal award agreements.
Recommendation – We recommend that the School review its internal control procedures over reporting and verify completeness of expenditures reported on the SEFA in the future.
View of Responsible Official and Planned Corrective Actions – The School agrees with the finding. The School has separately issued a Corrective Action Plan related to this finding.

Context – The School’s audited SEFA and federal reporting package for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were not submitted to the federal audit clearinghouse by the federal reporting deadline.
Repeat Finding – This is a current year finding.
Cause – The audit of the School’s SEFA for the year ended June 30, 2023, was not completed within the 9-month reporting period.

The completion of the School’s audited annual financial statements was delayed pending obtaining sufficient audit evidence.
Effect – The delay in the completion of the School’s financial audit for the year ended June 30, 2023, prevented the submission of the required information to the federal audit clearinghouse in a timely manner.
