Corrective Action Plan - 55 - January 25, 2023 Cognizant or Oversight Agency for Audit Unified School District #244 respectfully submits the following corrective action plan for the year ended June 30, 2022. Name and address of independent public accounting firm: Jarred, Gilmore & Phillips, PA, P.O. Box 779, 1815 S Santa Fe, Chanute, Kansas 66720. Audit period: Year ended June 30, 2022. The findings from the January 25, 2023 schedule of findings and questioned costs are discussed below. The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. Finding 2022-001 ? Misreported Checks Condition: During our review of Accounts Payable, it was noted that the use of split checks led to a check number designated for supplies being used to pay a different vendor for payroll taxes. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented the only allow for check numbers to be used for one vendor only and those encumbered funds that aren?t fully spent be credited back to the original funds. Action Taken: Split checks will no longer be used and all current outstanding split check numbers have been reviewed in the accounting software to ensure that the checks have only been written to the appropriate vendor and that those outstanding split checks were only used on the appropriate vendors as stated in the original purchase order. Anticipated Completion Date: February 2023 Finding: 2022-002 ? Meal Reporting Condition: During our testing of meal reporting, we tested two months of meal report claims submitted to the State and traced to individual count sheets per school. It was discovered in one month three meals were over reported and six meals the second month were over reported. Recommendation: Policies and procedures should be written to provide internal control over meal reporting. We recommend the District establish a review process, such as having another individual review count sheets and compare them to the number of meals submitted, to ensure all meals submitted for reimbursement are for the correct number of meals. - 56 - Action Taken: We are in agreement and since the 2022 fiscal audit took place, the District has updated their processes to include a review of all count sheets to ensure that the correct number of meals are being submitted for reimbursement. Anticipated Completion Date: October 24, 2022 Should the Oversight Agency for Audit have questions regarding this plan, please contact Christy Hess, Business Manager/Board Clerk, at (620) 364-8478.
