FINDING 2023-005
Finding Subject: Covid-19 Education Stabilization Fund- Equipment
Summary of Finding:
A property record or capital asset listing which would include the source of funding for the property
(including the federal award identification number (FAIN)), who holds title, the acquisition date, cost of the
property, percentage of federal participation in the project costs for the federal award under which the
property was acquired, the location, and use and condition of the property is to be maintained for assets
purchased that exceed the School Corporation's capitalization threshold.
The School Corporation maintained a detailed listing of capital assets; however, the asset records
provided for audit did not reflect all additions of equipment paid for with the School Corporation’s Education
Stabilization Fund award. Twenty-three pieces of equipment, totaling $248,202, were purchased during the
audit period, all of which were selected for testing. Sixteen of the pieces of equipment, totaling $133,353,
were not added to the listing of capital assets. In addition, the seven pieces of equipment added to the
listing did not include all the required information. The missing information included the source of funding
for the property (including the federal award identification number), who holds title, the acquisition date,
cost of the property, percentage of federal participation in the project costs for the federal award under
which the property was acquired, and the use and condition of the property.

Description of Corrective Action Plan: Beginning June 2024 the School Corporation will have a
detailed Capital Assets Ledger with any piece of equipment exceeding the amount of $5000.00. The
School Corporation is working with an Asset’s Management company to ensure the Capital Assets
Ledger is correct and up to date. We will ensure all items that exceed the threshold will be included, as
well as, detailed information including the grant program number that items were purchased from.
Anticipated Completion Date: These corrective actions will go into effect immediately and will be
utilized with the June 30, 2024 to create a Capital Assets Ledger.
