Finding 2025-001: Reporting – Significant deficiency in internal controls over compliance. Management Response: The District’s Child Nutrition Assistant Director (AD) prepared the claims data submitted into the Tx-UNPS System to receive Child Nutrition federal funding. The claims data was submitted without management approval. The District will implement procedures to ensure that monthly claim reports are reviewed by the Chief Operations Officer (COO) prior to being submitted into Tx-UNPS System. The AD will prepare the claims report documentation, which includes the point of sale and attendance reports. The claims report and supporting documentation will be emailed to the COO. Once the reports are reviewed and determined to be accurate, the COO will email approval. Once the AD receives approval via email from the COO, the email will be printed or digitally saved with the claims reports. The AD will submit claims data into the Tx-UNPS System and print the NSLP Claim for Reimbursement Summary. The Summary will be sent to the COO for confirmation. The new process will begin in October 2025.
