Finding Number: 2022-005 Condition: The Organization maintains and tracks federal expenditures incurred for the year in totality, however, does not maintain adequate records to track the costs applied to each individual draw down made throughout the year. Without this linkage, the timeliness between draw down and disbursement to ensure the disbursement occurred prior to or within three business days of draw down is unable to be validated. Planned Corrective Action: Management will continue to execute controls over cash management, including layers of review to ensure supporting documentation to agree federal expenditures to each drawdown is maintained and the timely disbursement of funds received. In addition, verify the costs are reasonable, allocable, and adequately documented. Contact person responsible for corrective action: Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date: 06/30/2025

Auditee Response: The auditee agrees with the finding. This was a perfect storm of events that created this scenario including COVID requiring the discontinuation of our Point of Sale (POS) System, tally sheets by classroom being used in place of that system, a change in head cooks during the year, and a failure to communicate properly between the Director of Food Service and the new Head Cook. Action Taken: The district has and will reinstitute the use of its POS system so that a child purchasing lunch types in their number and it is credited to that child's account. This system can then be used to track meal purchases throughout the day, week, or month. Since the HeadStart classroom are not MWSD students, they do not have numbers within the system. The Director of Food Services will use this system to report meal purchases and reimbursement rather than rely on head cooks and their tally sheets. Despite this, training should be conducted annually with all head cooks as to the qualifications of a reimbursable meal within the school district, so as to provide a fail safe in the event the POS system goes down for a period of time. Timelines/Contract: Most of this has taken place already in that we have returned to using a POS system. This system has the ability to track data and run reports, so it makes it error free when available. However, people ultimately must have the knowledge too so that they understand the parameters of a reimbursable meal should the system go down. Therefore, annual trainings will be instituted regarding such operations effective immediately. The Director of Food Service will be directed to use one in-service day annually for the purpose of teaching all staff members about reimbursable meals and how the HeadStart Programs fit into that. This should be completed no later than fall of 2025. The contact person would be Joe Stroup, Superintendent.

Audit Finding 2022-003: Material Weakness in Internal Control over Major Programs. It is understood that there was no support for various expenditures submitted for reimbursement. Expenditures submitted for reimbursement were missing support due to duplication within the 2022 CSBG grant in the amount of $86,955. The 2022 CSBG was extended to July 29, 2023 and expenditures were submitted to support the $86,955 prior to that date. There was also missing support for the COVID 19 CARES Act grant in the amount of $40,000. UPI is working with the DCA to remediate the issue. As noted in finding 2022- 001, the bookkeeper does not have the technical ability to track the application of expenditures to grants and reconcile the FSR’s to the general ledger. To improve controls and avoid recurrence, the organization has hired an outside consultant to serve as controller. In addition, UPI has updated their record retention policy. Beginning in October 2024, the consultant will adjust and reconcile the accrual basis general ledger monthly and review the application of expenditures among grants.
