The Academy had $1,191 in drawdowns for Title II that could not be supported. Questioned Costs - $73,349 – Title I $ 1,916 – Title II

Management believes that the previous Director of Finance drew down the funds in error. Going forward, a record of all funds drawn will be maintained and will include documentation to support the amount of the drawdown.
