Finding Text

The District must submit monthly claims for reimbursement for meals and snacks served to eligible students within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim (7 CFR sections 210.8, 220.11, 215.10, and 225.15(c)). The District submitted eight incorrect claims during five months during the reporting period. The District reviewed the reporting submissions but was outside of the required 60 day reporting window. The District has not established controls to ensure that all reports were completed and filed accurately and timely. We recommend that management should develop and implement appropriate controls to ensure the District is reporting meals served accurately and timely to the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction to ensure it is reimbursed for the meals served. Note: The District has implemented the necessary controls to resolve the issue prior to the issuance of this report. The District will develop and implement appropriate controls to ensure accurate and timely reporting of meals served. Management will review the controls put in place on a bi-monthly basis and make any necessary changes if determined necessary. This finding has been resolved as of the date of this report.
