Finding 1113714 (2024-003)

2023-001 Time and Effort Certification Payroll - Repeated Criteria: The District should maintain time and effort logs for employees working under federal grants. These time and effort logs should be signed, certified, and retained on file for future inspection. Condition and context: During our testing we found that the District was unable to provide certified time and effort logs for employees working under the Title I grant. Cause: Appears to be miscommunication between the grant manager and the business manager. Recommendation: The District should ensure that time and effort logs are filled out and signed in accordance with both the District policy and federal requirements. Responsible Official's Response: See last page for management's response as prepared on District letterhead.
