Finding Text

Finding: The District was unable to provide expenditure information for the program. Criteria: The May 2024 Office of Management and Budget Compliance Supplement states the following for Compliance Requirements – Allowable Costs and Activities-states, “Be adequately documented.” Condition: The District was unable to provide documentation of the high cost claims submitted to the state for reimbursement. Therefore, there was no information to test for allowable activities and allowable costs.

Questioned costs: $524,494, refer to Finding 2024-011. Context: The District expended $524,494 for high-cost claims which is 100% of the reimbursement from the state.
