Condition: During testing of the Education Stabilization Fund grant, it was noted that the District budgeted for and included items in capital outlay objects in both the general ledger and Illinois State Board of Education expenditure reports that were below the District?s capitalization threshold of $5,000. Recommendation: The District should only include items greater than its $5,000 capitalization threshold in capital outlay objects in its general ledger, budgets, and expenditure reports filed with the Illinois State Board of Education. Management Response: Management and the grant coordinator added the total cost of the project instead of the individual cost of items ordered. The grant coordinator and management have discussed and created an action plan to ensure that the threshold is considered when ordering individual items that may exceed $5,000 in total, but fall short of that amount when considered individually. Accounts have been established for equipment falling below the $5,000 threshold. Anticipated Date of Completion: June 30, 2023
