Background and Context: The District has a long-standing history of strong financial compliance and has not previously received audit findings related to internal controls or reporting. The error was isolated, not systemic, and was identified without evidence of intentional misreporting or ongoing risk. The District has implemented additional review steps as identified below to ensure continued accuracy in future submissions. Subject: Finding 2025-001: The finding indicates 2 errors were made in transferring data from the Daily Accuclaim Report to the Monthly Record of Meals Served at the East Campus resulting in an inaccurate request for reimbursement in the amount of approximately $55.00; these errors were made in 2 separate monthly reports during the 2025 fiscal year. Management response to FY 2025-001 Audit Findings The management of the Organization acknowledges the need for stronger internal controls in the administration of the Child Nutrition Meal Reimbursement Task Cluster. The agency implemented refresher training with the Administrative Assistant and the Campus Principal at the East Campus. Training was completed on November 18, 2025. Additionally, the agency has implemented stringent internal controls to ensure that all data regarding meal counts and reimbursement claims will be verified to ensure accuracy. It was noted that this weakness resulted in errors when the Administrative Assistant transferred data from the Daily Accuclaim to the Monthly Record of Meals Served. To prevent any errors in future claims, the following Standard Operating Procedure for all campuses was created: 1. The Administrative Assistant will tabulate meals served and enter daily totals on the Daily Accuclaim Report. The Campus Principal will provide a second count for daily totals and verify that the correct total was entered on the Daily Accuclaim Report. Both the Administrative Assistant and the Campus Principal will initial the Daily Accuclaim Report when verifications have been completed. 2. Data from the Daily Accuclaim Report will be transferred to the Monthly Record of Meals Served. Both the Administrative Assistant and the Campus Principal will verify that data has been correctly transferred and totaled accurately. Both the Administrative Assistant and the Campus Principal will initial the Monthly Record of Meals Served. 3. At the end of each month, Weekly Student Rosters, Daily Accuclaim Reports and the Monthly Record of Meals Served will be forwarded to the Director of Child Nutrition who will verify and initial all reports and enter data in TXUNPS for reimbursement. When all data for the month has been entered, a Summary Report will be printed and submitted to the Superintendent along with all documents for review and approval. Upon Superintendent written approval, the CNP Director will submit requests for reimbursement through TXUNPS. The agency will implement these Standard Operating Procedures beginning with the December 2025, Reimbursement Claim. It is believed that procedures requiring two personnel to review and sign off on all daily and monthly data and before final submission will ensure accuracy in Reimbursement Claims.
