Finding Text
Criteria: The District is required to submit a Final Expenditure Report to the State within 30 days of all funds being expended. Condition: The District failed to submit the Final Expenditure Reports for Title I, Title II, and Title IV for the 21-22 grant year in a timely manner and is showing receivables on the SEFA as of June 30, 2023. Cause: Due to staff turnover, the final expenditure reports were not submitted in a timely fashion. Effect: The District receives funding based on timely and accurate reporting to the State. Failure to file reports in a timely manner can delay or cancel funding. Context: We questioned the District on why there were still receivables on the SEFA and it was explained to us the Final Expenditure Reports were not filed in a timely manner. Recommendation: We have advised management to implement procedures to make sure all reporting requirements are met in a timely fashion to maintain federal compliance and ensure timely funding. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The District agrees with the finding and will develop procedures to ensure reports are filed in a timely manner.
