American Rescue Plan ? Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER); ALN 84.425U; Project #?s 5880-21-2955, 5884-21-2955; Grant Period ? Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2022 Significant Deficiency Compliance Requirement: Equipment/Real Property Management Criteria: According to 2 CFR section 200.313(d)(1), detailed property records must be maintained for equipment acquired under a federal grant award. Records should include a description of the property, a serial number or identification number, the source of funding (including the federal award identification number), who holds title, the acquisition date, cost of the property, percentage of federal participation in the project costs for the federal award under which the property was acquired, the location, use and condition of the property, and ultimate disposition data. Condition: During our audit, we noted the District?s fixed asset records were incomplete relating to five assets acquired with federal grant funding that did not appear in the fixed asset records. Cause: Several equipment items purchased with federal funds were not appropriately captured as fixed asset additions and thus, were not included within the District?s fixed asset records. Effect: The District?s fixed asset records are incomplete and thus, fixed assets purchased with federal funds may not be properly safeguarded and the District may not be in compliance with the aforementioned federal regulations. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: We recommend the District update their fixed asset records to include required information for assets purchased with federal awards and that a system of communication and a review process be implemented to ensure completeness and accuracy of fixed asset records. District?s Response: Implementation Plan of Action: The District agrees with these findings. Prior to the commencement of this audit Richard Snyder, the School Business Official recognized this issue and immediately took corrective action by engaging in an RFP to contract with a qualified vendor. This qualified vendor will be responsible to conduct a full appraisal of all fixed assets, including tagging and compiling a list of all the fixed assets. This vendor will also be responsible to ensure that all new fixed assets will be tagged timely, and inventory list will be updated and maintained in accordance with regulations. Implementation Date: By June 30, 2023 Person Responsible for the Implementation: Richard Snyder, the School Business Official is responsible for the implementation of this plan.
