These updated procedures will be communicated by November 15, 2022, and annually by July 15, to the School?s federal grants coordinator and district business office employees. In addition, these updated procedures will be included annually in the School's Employee Handbook. In addition, Paradise Schools is considering participation in a governmental purchasing cooperative.

Finding 2022-001 (Significant Deficiency) Condition: The final performance report for the grant year requires the submission of additional performance metrics. The reported metrics included correct underlying data; however, two of the nine required metrics included calculation errors for the grant year ended June 30, 2022. Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303(a) states the Association is required to establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-federal entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. Cause: Secondary review of performance calculations were not performed. Effect: Not providing accurate performance metrics may lead to inaccurate conclusions on the program's effectiveness. Corrective Plan: The agency has put into place a secondary review in which the report is prepared by the Program Coordinator, in conjunction with the Administrative Assistant, and then reviewed for accuracy by the Senior Director of Grants and Aging. Additionally, the Senior Director will require supporting documentation of metrics being evaluated in conjunction with the report itself to further ensure accuracy.

2022-002. Preparation of Financial Statements and Related Footnotes Recommendation: This control deficiency is not unusual in a small company. However, it is the responsibility of management and the board of directors to decide whether to accept the degree of risk associated with this condition based on the cost of correction and other considerations. Management?s Response and Actions Planned: The Company?s management is aware of this significant deficiency. Management reviews and approves the draft annual audited financial statements and distributes them to the users. For entities of this size, it generally is not practical to obtain the internal expertise needed to handle all aspects of the external financial reporting. Management recognizes this and feels it is effectively handling its reporting responsibilities with the procedures described above.
