Finding Details

Condition: During audit fieldwork, our testing resulted in a restatement of fund balance in order to correct accounts payable balances that were improperly recorded in prior years. Criteria: A good system of internal controls would provide for accurate recording and reporting of accounts payable on a regular basis in order to provide for accurate financial reporting. Cause: Year-end entries related to accounts payable were required in order to accurately present the District’s financial statements. Effect: A material adjustment to the District’s beginning fund balance was required to properly state accounts payable.
Condition: Supporting documentation for the monthly food service meals provided did not align with the claims reported for reimbursement in free, reduced, and paid categories. Criteria: The District is required to track free, reduced, and paid meals provided for the child nutrition program for reporting and reimbursement. Cause: The District’s internal controls did not identify discrepancies between the monthly meals provided and the amounts reported to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction for reimbursement. Effect: The District’s reimbursement claims were misstated.
Condition: The District's supporting documentation for the expenses incurred for staff and contractors that provide direct medical services did not get reported appropriately in the quarterly submissions. Criteria: For staff and contractors that provide direct medical services, Districts are required to report amounts paid for salaries, benefits, and contracted services through quarterly financial submissions. Cause: District staff did not properly report the expense information through the quarterly financial submission. Effect: Improperly reported expenses would affect the reimbursements received by the District under the SBS Medicaid program.
