2025-007 – Noncompliance and 2025-009 – Material Weakness (Child Nutrition Cluster) Condition: The District underreported meal counts for its August and October 2024 meal reimbursement reports resulting in lost reimbursement of approximately $38,000. Criteria: Accurate reimbursement requests should be prepared and submitted monthly. Cause: The District did not perform a secondary review of the reimbursement reports prior to submission and did not analyze revenue compared to meal counts to ensure accurate reimbursements. Effect: Because of the reporting errors, the District was reimbursed approximately $38,000 less than it was entitled to receive. The reporting errors were not discovered until it was too late to amend the erroneous reports. Recommendation: The District should conduct a secondary review of the nutrition reimbursement reports before they are submitted. Also, monthly revenue should be analyzed for reasonableness each month. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The District will implement a secondary review process for the nutrition reimbursement reports and will monitor the monthly financials to ensure revenue is reasonable based on meal counts.
