Condition: During audit fieldwork, our testing resulted in a restatement of fund balance in order to correct leased capital assets, buildings, land improvements and equipment categories of capital assetsCondition: During audit fieldwork, our testing resulted in a restatement of fund balance in order to correct leased capital assets, buildings, land improvements and equipment categories of capital assets. Criteria: A good system of internal controls would provide for accurate recording and reporting of capital assets on a regular basis in order to provide for accurate financial reporting. Cause: Year-end entries related to capital assets were required in order to accurately present the District’s financial statements. Effect: A material adjustment to the District’s beginning fund balance was required to properly state capital assets. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement effective internal controls in order to provide an accurate assessment of reporting requirements. This implementation of improved controls would result in the appropriate recognition for financial reporting requirements. Corrective Action Plan: The District and Assistant Superintendent of Administrative Services will implement internal controls to properly record capital assets on a timely basis prior to audit fieldwork.
