Finding 2025-001, Reporting- Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance Cause: The finding resulted from the lack of a formalized, documented review process to verify the accuracy of claim data between Skyward, PrimeroEdge, and TXUNPS. Historically, the claim reporting relied on single-entry verification without a defined cross-check procedure or document retention system to confirm alignment across platforms. Corrective Action: NYOS Charter School has implemented a new monthly verification process to ensure accuracy and transparency in the meal count reporting workflow. - The PEIMS Manager will generate the Average Daily Attendance (ADA) report from Skyward each month. - The Food Service Manager will use this report to enter claim data into PrimeroEdge. - The Director of Operations will then cross-reference the claim information from PrimeroEdge with the ADA report from Skyward before entering final claim data into TXUNPS. - Copies of the ADA report, the PrimeroEdge claim summary, and the TXUNPS submission confirmation will be downloaded and stored in the Food Services Google Drive for audit documentation and ongoing internal control review. - Staff involved in this process will receive annual training on verification procedures, documentation standards, and data integrity best practices. Timeline: Updated verification process implemented in October 2025; full rollout and training completed by December 2025. Responsible Party: - Chief of Operations & HR -Director of Operations - PEIMS Manager - Food Service Manager Monitoring: Quarterly internal reviews will be conducted by the Chief of Operations & HR to ensure consistent application of the cross-verification process and proper retention of supporting documentation in the Food Services Google Drive.
