Finding Text
Condition: Failure to follow and execute consistent grant processes has resulted in over reimbursement in at least one grant related to ESSER and failure to obtain required payroll certifications of other grants related to ESSER.
Criteria: Ideally, a written Internal Control policy for expending and receiving federal grant monies should be approved and adhered to.
Cause: Grants processes were not consistent across all federal grants awarded.
Effect: The Schools did not follow consistent Internal Control processes for all federal grants.
Recommendation: We recommend that the Schools establish a written grant internal control policy for federal awards and follow for each federal grant.
Management's Response: We concur with this finding. The recommendation will be implemented as new administration reviews policies and procedures to establish a written internal control policy for grants.
