Audit 394302

Finding #2025-001: #84.184X – Wisconsin Well Be’s School-Based Mental Health Consortium Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring Condition: During our audit procedures, it was determined that the District did not review supporting documentation such as invoices or pay records from subrecipient schools claiming funds. Although there is a Google shared document that summarizes expenditures claimed, subrecipient schools did not submit invoices to the grant manager for review and approval. Additionally, there was no formal written agreement between the District and the subrecipient to document the terms and conditions of the subrecipient awards. Effect: The District’s system of monitoring is not sufficient, formal, or uniform which could result in unallowable expenditures and misunderstandings between the District and the subrecipients. Cause: The District does not have adequate review and approval processes and formal written agreements for the subrecipients. Criteria: It is necessary under U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") and under most federal grant agreements that any federal funds passed through to a subrecipient be appropriately monitored and that the subrecipient is properly informed of the grant requirements. Recommendation: We recommend that the District review invoices from the subrecipient schools and have written agreements signed by all parties that fully explain the federal grant requirements and include other appropriate language to protect the District and to further document the District’s compliance regarding subrecipient monitoring. Response: The grant funding has been cut as of December 31, 2025. The District did not implement the recommended procedures above as there are currently no other subrecipient relationships.

Finding #2025-002: #84.184X – Wisconsin Well Be’s School-Based Mental Health Consortium Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Condition: During our audit procedures, it was determined that there was miscommunication between the grant manager and the business manager. Therefore, an additional claim was made which resulted in the District receiving federal funds in excess of immediate needs. Effect: The District received federal funds in excess of immediate needs and before disbursement for allowable program costs. Cause: The District’s internal controls failed to identify a duplicate claim submitted for federal funds. Criteria: It is necessary under U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") and under most federal grant agreements that the recipient must implement financial management system that provide proper fund control, which ensures funds used in a timely fashion. Recommendation: We recommend that the District implement a pre-submission check to verify that invoices have not been previously claimed. Response: The funds were fully used up in the following fiscal year as expenditures were incurred. The grant funding has been cut as of December 31, 2025. This finding has been resolved.
