2024 – 001: Financial Statement Preparation and Audit Adjustments
Type of Finding: Choose from the following:
Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Condition: The board and management share the ultimate responsibility for the School's internal
control system and financial statement reporting. While it is acceptable to outsource various accounting
functions, the responsibility for internal control and financial statement reporting cannot be outsourced.
A significant audit adjustment was proposed and posted through the audit process. The adjustment was
a necessary step in ensuring the financial statements were fairly stated in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Criteria or specific requirement: In an ideal control setting, the School would have a comprehensive
control procedure to ensure that the financial statements, including disclosures are complete and
accurate. Such review procedures should be performed by an individual possessing a thorough
understanding of applicable accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Effect: It is possible that a misstatement of the School's financial statements could occur and not be
prevented or detected by the School's internal control.
Cause: The School’s controls were not able to detect the adjustments made as part of the audit. The
School does not have a comprehensive review process to ensure that the financial statements,
including disclosures, are complete and accurate.
Repeat Finding: No.
Recommendation: We recommend the board and management work with their bookkeeping company
to develop a process to review and identify such items in a timely manner.
Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: There is no disagreement with the
audit finding.

Award Period: July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024
Type of Finding:
Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance
Material Noncompliance
Criteria or specific requirement: The Compliance Supplement requires that compensation for
personal services be charged to the federal grant based upon approved actual time worked on the
program and not based on an allocation or budget (2 CFR 200.430(i)).
Condition: While performing audit procedures, it was noted that payroll expenses were charged to the
grant program based upon an allocation from the budget and not on approved and/or certified time
worked in the program.
Questioned costs: $234,052
Context: During the process of obtaining an understanding of internal controls and processing of
payroll expenditures, we noted payroll was not reviewed to ensure the expense charged to the grants
was accurate based upon approved actual time spent in the program.
Cause: Salary figures for salaried employees were charged to the federal grant based on unapproved
work actually performed for the program.
Effect: The organization has not fully followed compliance attributes with the allowable costs principles
set forth by the Compliance Supplement related to allocation of salaries being charged based on
approved time worked for a program. Personnel need to reinforce policies to ensure control procedures
are in place to ensure salaries charged to a grant are appropriately based on actual approved time
worked in a program.
Repeat Finding: No.
Recommendation: We recommend the School ensure policies and procedures for payroll
expenditures for grant programs be charged to the federal grant based on approved hours worked in
the program.
Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance
Other Matter
Criteria or specific requirement: Per 2 CFR 200.313(d)(2), a physical inventory of the property must
be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years. Per
Uniform Guidance 2 CFR 200.303, nonfederal entities receiving federal awards are required to
establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with federal laws,
regulations, and program compliance requirements.
Condition: The School has had a lapse of greater than two years between physical inventories.
Context: During the testing of Equipment for Real Property Management, we noted that the School had
an interval between physical inventories that was greater than two years.
Questioned costs: None
Cause: The School has gone through leadership changes over the past few years in the business
office that is responsible for compliance requirements and the inventory observation has not been
completed in the transition period.
Effect: The equipment was not inventoried within the two-year timeframe
Repeat finding: No
Recommendation: The School should ensure proper policies and procedures are in place to monitor
the physical inventory requirements and ensure the physical inventory is completed and documented.
