Finding #2025-002: #84.184X – Wisconsin Well Be’s School-Based Mental Health Consortium Federal Grantor Agency: U.S. Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Cash Management Condition: During our audit procedures, it was determined that there was miscommunication between the grant manager and the business manager. Therefore, an additional claim was made which resulted in the District receiving federal funds in excess of immediate needs. Effect: The District received federal funds in excess of immediate needs and before disbursement for allowable program costs. Cause: The District’s internal controls failed to identify a duplicate claim submitted for federal funds. Criteria: It is necessary under U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (commonly called "Uniform Guidance") and under most federal grant agreements that the recipient must implement financial management system that provide proper fund control, which ensures funds used in a timely fashion. Recommendation: We recommend that the District implement a pre-submission check to verify that invoices have not been previously claimed. Response: The funds were fully used up in the following fiscal year as expenditures were incurred. The grant funding has been cut as of December 31, 2025. This finding has been resolved.
