Condition: The District has not completed a physical inventory of its capital assets as required by Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: None. Context: District used ESSER funds in 2021-22 as one funding source for a chem lab project. The project finished in 2022-23. The District has not historically used federal funds to purchase equipment and real property and were unaware of the requirements. Cause: The District did not have adequate procedures in place to ensure that a physical inventory was conducted within the required timeframe. Effect: Failure to conduct a physical inventory may result in inaccurate equipment records, which can lead to mismanagement of assets and potential loss or misuse of equipment. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish and implement procedures to ensure that a physical inventory of equipment is conducted at least once every two years. This should include assigning responsibility for the inventory process, setting a schedule for inventory counts, and ensuring that the results are reconciled with the equipment records. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

A physical inventory of the property must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years (2 CFR 200.313(d)(2)). Condition The Organization lacked certain required elements on its vehicle listing. The Organization failed to adequately document the performance of the required physical inventory. Repeat Finding Yes, 2023-006. Cause Procedures within the Organization were inadequate to ensure that required elements are regularly updated on its vehicle listing, and that the physical inventory count and reconciliation is documented. Effect or Potential Effect Federal interests in property are lost or inadequately tracked. Questioned Costs No. Statistical Sample No. Context Nebraska Department of Transportation provides its subrecipients with an online portal through which, among other things, a vehicle listing is kept. The auditor obtained this vehicle listing, noting that most of the elements required by 2 CFR 200.313(d)(1) were present, however, out of the seven federally-funded vehicles on the listing: - Two were missing the FAIN (VINs *8494 and *2891). - One had a total purchase price of $63,670, whereas source documentation suggested a total purchase price of $103,475 (VIN *2891). - One was missing a purchase price. Source documentation suggested a total purchase price of $36,231 (VIN *2472). - One had an acquisition date of 9/30/2019, whereas source documentation suggested an acquisition date of 2/25/2020 (VIN *2891). Management indicates that a physical inventory is performed nightly with all vehicles, however, no documentation exists to prove that this was performed during the audit period. Recommendation We recommend the Organization track all Federally-required elements along with its own internal data points (such as bus number and depreciation system number) in one consolidated listing. Further, we recommend that a policy be instituted whereby a physical inventory and related reconciliation is performed annually on June 30, with the results being documented, reviewed, and approved by appropriate personnel.

(2) A physical inventory of the property must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two years. (3) A control system must be developed to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent loss, damage, or theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft must be investigated. (4) Adequate maintenance procedures must be developed to keep the property in good condition. . . ." Condition: An effective internal control system was not in place at the School Corporation in order to ensure compliance with requirements related to the grant agreement and the Equipment and Real Property Management Requirements compliance requirements. Cause: The School Corporation's management had not developed a system of internal controls to ensure compliance with the compliance requirements listed above. Effect: The failure to establish an effective internal control system placed the School Corporation at risk of noncompliance with the grant agreement and the compliance requirements. A lack of segregation of duties within an internal control system could have also allowed noncompliance with the compliance requirements and allowed the misuse and mismanagement of federal funds and assets by not having proper oversight, reviews, and approvals over the activities of the programs. Questioned Costs: There were no questioned costs identified. Context: The School Corporation expended $944,437 on building renovations during the period under audit which was charged to the ESSER II (84.425D) and ESSER III (84.425U) grant awards. It was noted these capital asset acquisitions were not reported on the capital asset listing for the School Corporation as of June 30, 2024. The School Corporation had also not performed a complete physical inventory of capital assets during the audit period. Identification as a repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the School Corporation update the capital asset listing at least annually to include all equipment and real property acquisitions and review for potential capital asset dispositions. The capital asset listing should include all required information to track capital asset acquisitions purchased with federal funding. We also recommend the School Corporation conduct a physical inventory of capital assets at least every two years and maintain documentation to support the process undertaken to comply with federal and state regulations. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management agrees with the finding and has prepared a corrective action plan.
