Criteria: In accordance with 2 CFR 200.403(g), costs must be adequately documented in order to be allowable under Federal awards. Condition: The School was unable to provide documentation for three (3) out of sixty (60) non-payroll expenses. Cause: The School failed to follow its own policies for documentation of expenses and document retention.

U.S. Department of the Treasury Passed through State of Arizona, Maricopa County (Maricopa County), Federal Financial Assistance Listing #21.027, PE386182260A4 2022 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Finding Summary: The auditors identified certain expenditures tested lacked proper documentation of review and approval and those expenditures submitted for reimbursement were based on budgeted amounts expended rather than actual with no true up performed. They also identified one expenditure deemed potentially unallowable. Management’s Response and Corrective Action Plan: Televerde Foundation has experienced significant growth from inception in March 2020 to fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. We have grown from contributions and grants of $83 thousand and $50 thousand, respectively, in March 2020 to contributions and grants of $236 thousand and $978 thousand, respectively, as of December 31, 2022. During this same period, Televerde Foundation went from 3 employees to 21 employees and experienced significant turnover in finance staff including 2 CFO’s, 2 Controllers, and four staff accountants. The growth combined with lack of a consistent finance team is the primary cause of this deficiency. To address the deficiency, management will perform the actions below. Management will leverage our general ledger to retain documentation for approval and review of expenditures. We will utilize actual amounts for expenditures and in circumstances where budgeted amounts are needed, we will perform a true-up on a quarterly basis.
