Findings #2025-001 and #2025-002 – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: U. S. Department of Education, Supporting Effective Instruction State Grants, Assistance Listing #: 84.367A, Contract #’s: S367A230041 and S367A240041. Condition and context: During our testing of GAAP and FASRG coding, we identified 5 of 72 non- payroll transactions coded to the incorrect period, and 5 of 49 non-payroll transactions coded to the incorrect object or function code. Recommendation: Reemphasize current policies and procedures to ensure proper coding of disbursements based on the period and the organization’s chart of accounts and FASRG codes. Planned corrective action: Great Hearts America – Texas concurs with the findings. While the noted errors were immaterial, management recognizes the importance of consistent expense recognition and coding accuracy to ensure compliance with TEA, PEIMS and financial reporting standards. To strengthen controls, management has implemented the following actions: 1) Month-End Cutoff Procedures: The Finance Department will issue enhanced month-end closing guidance emphasizing invoice cutoff dates, accrual requirements, and proper period recognition. 2) AP Supervisor Review: The Accounts Payable Supervisor will conduct a secondary review of all significant invoices processed to confirm proper period recognition. 3) Coding Accuracy Checks: The Accounts Payable Supervisor will perform periodic sampling of expense transactions to verify correct Function, Object, and PIC coding. 4) Training: Refresher training will be provided to campus and department staff responsible for coding transactions to ensure understanding of chart of accounts structure. Responsible officer: Stacey Lawrence, Interim Chief Financial Officer. Estimated completion date: Procedures will be implemented during fiscal year 2026 month-end close and reinforced through staff training in January 2026.
