Criteria: Reporting. All quarterly expenditure reports must be filed with the Illinois State Board of Education no later than 20 days after the end of the quarter (10/20, 1/20, 4/20, 7/20). Condition: 1st quarter report for ESSER II was filed 32 days after the 20 day deadline. 2nd quarter report for ESSER III was filed 2 days after the 20 day deadline. 1st quarter, 2nd quarter, and fourth quarter reports for Digital Equity 3 were filed 25, 11, and 9 days, respectfully, after the 20 day deadline. Questioned Costs: None. Context: Multiple reports across different quarters in ESSER II, ESSER III, and Digital Equity 3 filed for those grants ranged from 2 days to 32 days filed after the 20 day deadline. Effect: The District was not in compliance by filing their expenditure reports late. Cause: The District did not employ proper oversight to ensure that the quarterly expenditure reports were filed timely. Recommendation: We recommend that steps are taken, including oversight by a second employee, to ensure that all quarterly expenditure reports are filed by the due dates. Management's Response: The District will take the necessary steps to file all quarterly expenditure reports on time in the future.
