Finding No.: 2023-006 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture AL Program: 10.555 Child Nutrition Cluster Federal Award No.: 7GU300GUB Area: Reporting Questioned Costs: $0 Views of Auditee and Corrective Actions:
GDOE agrees with the finding. GDOE submitted monthly reimbursement claims for meals and snacks served to eligible students beyond the required 60-day reporting period and did not report sub awards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Sub Award Reporting System (FSRS) in FY 2023. Plan of action and completion date: At the start of FY 2024, the CNP Office added personnel to the processing of claims activity. The additional personnel to the process is to ensure the requests are reviewed and processed in a timely manner before transmitting to the GDOE Business Office for reimbursement draw and payment processing. After the transmission, the CNP Office will follow-up and confirm, via email, with the assigned personnel conducting the draws, that the requested draw/payment for claims reimbursement are completed in a timely manner. In addition, the Child Nutrition Programs Office will request for confirmation from the responsible personnel within the Business Office that the required Subaward report is submitted and posted to the respective SEFA to the FSRS. Plan to monitor and responsible officials: The CNP State Administrator, Franklin Cruz, and the Comptroller will ensure that claims are submitted and processed timely.
