Notes to SEFA

The accompanying Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards includes the District's federal grant activity for the year ended June 30, 2025. The information in this schedule is presented in accordance with the requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Because the Schedule presents only a selected portion of the operations of the District, it is not intended to and does not present the financial position, changes in net position, or cash flows of the District.
The program titles and Federal Assistance Listings numbers were obtained from the federal or passthrough grantor or the 2025 Federal Assistance Listings. When no Federal Assistance Listings number had been assigned to a program, the 2-digit federal agency identifier and the federal contract number were used. When there was no federal contract number, the 2-digit federal agency identifier and the word “unknown” were used.
Food donations as reported for the Child Nutrition Cluster represents the amount of donated food used during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. Commodities are valued at fair value at the time of donation.

Finding Details

2025-002 Title I Payroll Federal Assistance Listing Number: 84.010 Program Title: Title I LEA Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education Passthrough Entity: Arizona Department of Education Passthrough Number: 25FT1TTI-511183-01A Compliance Requirement: B. Allowable Cost/Cost Principles Award Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Finding Type: Noncompliance, Significant Deficiency in Internal Control Questioned Costs: N/A Repeat Finding: No. Condition/Context: The District does not have a system in internal control to properly track the time worked in federal projects. For four out of 25 Title I payroll transactions tested, the employees were completely paid using Title I monies, however the hours reported on the timecard for grant activities did not agree with the total hours worked. Criteria: Payroll made with federal project fund should be supported by documentation showing the hours worked with the activities approved as for the federal project. Effect: Without proper internal controls over time tracking and approval for federal programs, the District could overpay or underpay the portion of payroll for the federal program without detecting the error. Cause: Management oversight. Recommendation: We recommend the District have a second employee verify and approve time sheets for works related to federal projects. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with this finding.
