Finding Text

Finding Type: Material Weakness Criteria There should be a process to ensure grant revenue is accurately and timely recorded. Condition The Academy didn’t have a process in place to ensure that grant revenue was reported accurately and timely. Context During our testing, we noted errors in recording various revenue, accounts receivable, and unearned revenue accounts. This included instances where revenues were not properly recorded, and drawdowns for grants were processed beyond the sixty-day requirement, which reduced revenue. Cause/Effect There is no process to ensure that grant revenues are timely and accurately accounted for. Recommendation We recommend that the Academy implement a process that would allow for the accurate recording of grant revenue and timely request of cash drawdowns.
