Finding Text
Reporting. All quarterly expenditure reports must be filed with the Illinois State Board of Education no later than 20 days after the end of the quarter. We noted that 6 of the quarterly expenditure reports were not filed in a timely manner. There were expenses with dates on them that should have been reported in earlier quarter reports. There are no questioned costs. Out of the 13 quarterly reports submitted by the District for FY23, 6 were filed after the due date of the 20th of the month - 2 quarter reports in ESSER III, 1 report in ESSER II, 1 report in ARP Homeless, and 2 reports in Elevating Education. The first expenditure report for ESSER II was not until 3/31, but the dates associated with some expenditures occured before this quarter, and could have been submitted for reimbursement in an earlier quarter. SB will include as a repeat compliance finding. The District did not employ proper oversight to ensure that the quarterly expenditure reports were filed timely. Reporting requirements were not met. This was an oversight by management personnel in the District due to turnover in the District Office.
