Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters. Criteria: SEAs, in consultation with LEAs, are required to establish and maintain an assessment system that is valid, reliable, and consistent with relevant professional and technical standards. Within their assessment system, SEAs must have policies and procedures to maintain test security and ensure that LEAs implement those policies and procedures (Title I, Section 1111(b)(2)(B)(iii) of the ESEA (20 USC 6311(b)(2)(B)(iii))). Condition: During our testing and discussions with management, we noted the Crawfordsville Community School Corporation did not have proper controls around security assessments were not in place during period under audit. Questioned costs: None Context: Employees are require to complete certification forms acknowledging they have read, understood, and agree to adhere to the practices and procedures and that they will complete annual trainings. The Central Office should receive and review the employee forms for completeness. CLA saw evidence that these forms were prepared by employees, however there were no certifications provided by the Central Office to meet the compliance requirements in the key controls. Cause: Improper understanding and implementation of existing policies. Effect: Without proper review, employees could fail to participate in the required security assessments leading to noncompliance. Improper understanding and implementation of existing policies caused the Crawfordsville Community School Corporation to be noncompliant with program requirements over Assessment System Security. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the Crawfordsville Community School Corporation adherence with internal controls and possible increased training for individuals at Central Office who are tasked with those control procedures. View of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
