Audit 328684

Condition: During our review of Food Service funds, we noted that the numbers of meals served was less than the amount that was submitted for reimbursement. Criteria: When a recipient of federal food service money goes to submit for reimbursement, the amount of meals that are served should match up with the reporting out of the recipients system to ensure proper reimbursement is taking place. Cause: The Food service department did not have a proper reconciliation practices to ensure accurate reporting Effect: Funds may be overdrawn. Perspective: The majority of the buildings were accurate as we found during testing, with high turnover in the space training may not have taken place. Recommendation: We recommend training of all food service recording staff as well as the Director of Food service understand that the reimbursement of meals report should match the meals served reporting that documents each day of the meals served. It should also be noted that the meals served documents needs to have oversight to ensure those reports are accurate on a daily basis. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Haven USD 312 staff involved are undergoing training to learn requirements. Processes and procedures are being developed to ensure proper record keeping and reporting.
