Finding #2023-037 – Education Stabilization Fund, CFDA 84.425
Reporting – Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance and Material Noncompliance resulted in the following Eide Bailly, LLP recommendation:
Eide Bailly recommended NDE implement internal controls to identify required information to be reported, ensure accuracy, and maintain adequate document retention to support compliance.
NDE Response
Due to rapid turnover, changes in assigned personnel, and inconsistent file architecture, NDE has struggled to ensure that source documentation is labeled and retained appropriately.
Corrective Action
NDE shall document standards for data and reporting, to include required standards for policies and procedures and business rules, to support the development of new and/or temporary reporting requirements in alignment with all relevant internal controls. NDE shall implement internal control monitoring specific to compliance with the data and reporting standards. The Office of Division Compliance will collaborate with the Office of Assessments, Data, and Accountability Management, as well as the Office of District Support
to develop these standards.
