Finding 2024-001 – Salaries and wages of employees charged or allocated to the major program were not supported by formal records that accurately reflect the work performed. During our testing of four payroll transactions, we noted three timesheets had no approval and the Organization recorded amounts based on budgeted estimates rather than actual amounts for all four payroll transaction tested. For those payroll transactions tested, two transactions were overcharged by $563 and two were undercharged by $527 resulting in a net overcharge to the grant of $36. The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. 2024-001 Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement a process and related controls related to review and approval of payroll expenditures for allowability in accordance with the terms of the grant award and federal regulations. Payroll amounts charged to the grant should be based on actual time and effort reported by the employee working on the grant and related documentation maintained by the Organization to support those amounts. The Organization should implement a review process over recording time and effort for payroll transactions, for proper classification and allowability. Action Taken: Management agrees with the finding and has taken corrective action by formally adopting controls which will track the employee’s actual time spent. These controls were placed in service during the year ended June 30, 2024, but were not in place for the entire year. Date of Completion: February 16, 2024

Beginning in fiscal year 2025, the District has implemented the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) at all three of its school buildings.

This will include the Cafeteria Manager reviewing the free and reduced lunch applications and forwarding any without necessary documentation to the Superintendent and Treasurer for additional verification for eligibility.
