Finding Text
Condition and context: In reviewing the invoices submitted for 75% reimbursement under a USDA Facilities Grant, we noted a $16,876.64 invoice submitted was actually previously reimbursed with other state grant funds in the prior year. This invoice had been moved through journal entries in the general ledger from its original posting as an expenditure. When the invoice was submitted for reimbursement to the USDA Rural Development office, the District did not review the general ledger to verify it was still available to be reimbursed. Journal entries had been made to move it to another fund as other grant funds were used for reimbursement. Therefore, these expenditures were not allowed to be reimbursed again. The District contacted the USDA grant office. They have allowed invoices for other applicable expenditures as a replacement so that no funds will be requested to be paid back to USDA.
