Finding Text

Condition: The School’s net cash resources exceeded three months average expenditures at the end of the year. Criteria: The School food authority shall limit its net cash resources to an amount that does not exceed three months average expenditures for its nonprofit school food service. Cause: The School did not monitor its net cash resources to ensure that it not exceed three months average expenditures. Effect of Finding: After discussions with management, the auditor has determined that although the School’s net cash resources exceeded the allowed amount in 2023, due to continued rising costs, future expenditures will exceed revenue which will reduce the net cash resources to an acceptable level. As such, we feel that the effects of this finding are minimal. Recommendation: To keep monitoring the net cash resources throughout the year to ensure it doesn’t exceed three months average expenditures. View of Responsible Party and Planned Corrective Action: Since being made aware of the issue, the school’s administrator has begun to routinely monitor the net cash resources to ensure it does not exceed three months of average expenditures. As such, the required corrective action plans have been implemented.
