Condition and Cause: As part of our federal compliance testing we reviewed supporting documentation used to submit claims for lunch and breakfast programs. Our review noted one instance where the breakfast meals were submitted as lunch meals. Questioned Costs: $7,864 Criteria: Districts must submit monthly claims for reimbursement for meals served to eligible students within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim. Each month’s claim for reimbursement and all data used in the claims review process must be maintained on file. Accurate records must be maintained justifying all meals claimed and documenting that all Program funds were spent only on allowable Child Nutrition Program costs. Effect: If incorrect amounts are reported, the District could either receive disallowed aid, or be missing out on additional aid. Auditor’s Recommendation: We recommend the District review of current procedures for compiling and reporting the information submitted in order to verify accurate claims are submitted to DPI. Grantee Response: The District is working with DPI to correct the claims and will implement procedures to ensure that claims are accurate.

Significant Deficiency Federal Program: Summer Food Service Program for Children Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Award Year: 2022 Individual responsible for corrective action: Date corrective action will be implemented: Nadia Martinez / Executive Director December 29, 2023 Response: In FY 2022, our organization experienced a major weakness in internal controls over expenditures for the Food Service Program for Children, as highlighted in Finding 2022-001 of the recent financial audit. The audit found that our systems of internal control contained neither detection nor prevention elements. This raised doubts about whether we have adequate controls to prevent or detect instances of noncompliance with grant requirements. Our internal review has shown that the deficiency derives from weaknesses in our processes and systems, which failed to appropriately authorize or approve expenditures based on compliance with the Uniform Guidance. We realize the urgency in resolving this situation for proper management of federal awards under federal statutes, regulations and award terms. Corrective Action: To rectify the identified deficiency and align with the auditor's recommendation, our organization is implementing a comprehensive Corrective Action Plan. We have engaged a reputable CPA consulting firm specializing in internal controls and federal compliance. This firm will enter into a rigorous inspection of existing procedures to identify weaknesses and suggest improvements in prevention and help us greatly strengthen detection procedures. We recognize that skill upgrading and greater understanding of the task at hand among our staff, especially those with financial management or grant administration responsibilities are extremely important. Therefore, we will have special training sessions. These meetings will focus on the special demands of the Uniform Guidance and underline the importance of adhering to internal control measures. This applies to a full-scale review and improvement of the internal control over expenditures. This entails redefining the granting of authorization and approval procedures, as well as separating duties which must be met within the federal guidelines. It also involves installing checks and balances to ensure strict compliance with these guidelines. In view of the importance of adhering to standards for internal control, we promise to follow best practices as defined in the "Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government" by the Comptroller General of the United States and the "Internal Control Integrated Framework" by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Determined as we are to constantly improve, our organization will use a systematic approach in order to monitor compliance with internal controls. Under this scheme, regular reporting and analysis is used to quickly find potential problems. It will be a transparent and all-inclusive monitoring process. Our organization knows just how important documentation is, and we will build a robust system in line with federally required documents. This system provides transparency and accountability in our financial management activities, taking another step toward compliance with requirements for responsible stewardship of federal funds. We will continue to co-operate closely with our CPA consulting firm and the auditing body until we can prove that there is significant progress in eliminating the large-scale deficiency. Thank you for your guidance. We will continue to improve our internal controls at the highest level possible so as to meet and exceed federal standards. This comprehensive Corrective Action Plan will be effective immediately.
