Context: During testing of reporting, we identified a control breakdown in the claim submission process. Although student meal data is summarized at the school level and reviewed by both the Food Services Bookkeeper and the Food Services Director, there is not a review of the actual claim submission prior to being submitted to the portal. Due to the breakdown in controls, we identified that the October 2022 revision claim overstated breakfasts served by 10 meals. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: The Director of Food Services will input the monthly claims into the state reporting system. This will be checked by the bookkeeper prior to submission to ensure data was entered correctly. Responsible Party and Timeline for Completion: Beginning January 2024

Once the staff is notified they will be given a 48 hour turn around to approve/reject, in the event they do not comply disciplinary action will be taken. After the 48 hours if report is not approved, Finance leadership will go into the system and review the report for approval or rejection.
