Finding Details

Criteria: The federal drawdowns should be documented with support for the calculation of the amount and with indication of a review by a second individual to ensure the propriety of the amount. Condition/Cause: The District?s process for requesting funds did not have evidence of a review by a second individual prior to drawing the funds down from the grantor. Effect: The District did not have a strong control environment to ensure federal drawdowns were properly supported and calculated for the amounts requested. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement processes to have a second person review and approve the support and the drawdown amount from federal grants prior to requesting those funds from the grantor. Response from Responsible Officials and Corrective Actions: Action: Written procedures will be developed to address the protocols of records retention and management.
