Finding Details

Finding 2024-003
Finding Type: Material Noncompliance; Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR section 200.430, the local education agency is required to maintain time and effort distribution records for employees who work on federal programs. These distribution records must support the portion of time and effort dedicated to: 1) The federal program or cost objective; and 2) Other programs or cost objectives supported by federal funds or other revenue sources. Statement of Condition: The District was not in compliance with the Uniform Guidance as it was noted that management of the District was not preparing time and effort distribution records and could not produce source documentation to support the time and effort applied to payroll expense that was charged to Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies. Cause: The District’s internal controls to identify and document employees that require support for time and effort charged to Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies were not effective for the year ended June 30, 2024. Context: We selected payroll costs associated with nine employees who had wages charged to Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies. Of the nine employees selected for testing, two employees did not have time and effort documentation or other source documentation to support the payroll expense that was charged to the federal program. Effect or Potential Effect: Salary and wage costs could be applied to Title I Grants to Local Education Agencies without appropriate supporting documentation required in accordance with 2 CFR Part 200.430 and District Policy. Questioned Costs: $26,366 of known questioned costs charged to this federal program in the year under audit. Recommendations: We recommend the District review their internal controls to strengthen processes and improve procedures. We recommend the District complete all required time and effort certifications in a timely manner. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The District agrees with the finding and recommendation and plans to implement a system of completing necessary time and effort documentation for all employees who work on federal programs.
