Audit 45363

Criteria Requirements per section 2 CFR Section 200.313(d)(2) of the Uniform Guidance state that a physical inventory of any property purchased with Federal Funds must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least every two years. Statement of condition During our audit we noted the Charter Schools did not adhere to the terms of their financial policies and procedures manual and federal statutes, regulations, and terms and conditions of the awards received as they did not perform an inventory count every two years for assets purchased with Federal funds. Cause Management?s internal control procedures did not identify the need for a property inventory count on a bi-annual basis. The procedure was included in the Charter Schools internal financial policies and procedures manual as required but the actual count did not occur. Effect or Potential Effect Without a regular inventory count, property and equipment could be lost or stolen and would not be identified in a timely manner. Questioned Costs N/A Recommendation We recommend the Charter Schools adhere to the terms of their financial policies and procedures manual to perform inventory audits over assets purchased with Federal funds. Views of Responsible Officials We agree with the finding and will perform a physical count of inventory for all property purchased with federal funds as required going forward. Auditor?s Evaluation of the Views of Responsible Officials Management?s response is appropriate to address the finding. If properly implemented, management?s response would include procedures to prevent reoccurrence in the future.
