Approval Of Expense Reimbursement Submittals ? Significant Deficiency - Activities Allowed Or Unallowed And Allowable Costs/Cost Principles ALNs 84.010 ? Title 1 Fund And 84.425/84.425C/84.425D/84.425U Elementary And Secondary School Emergency Relief Fund (ESSER) Criteria: The Uniform Guidance in 2 CFR Section 200.303 requires that non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards (i.e. auditee management) establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. The School has an internal control in place that expense reimbursement submittals on federal grants be approved by School management prior to their submission to the state for reimbursement. Condition: During the course of the audit, the engagement team identified multiple expenditures where the support showing School management?s approval of the expense reimbursement submittal for federal grants was unable to be provided. Cause: The entity did not maintain sufficient support documentation to prove that expenditures were reviewed before expense reimbursement requests were submitted. Effect: Potential noncompliance could occur if expenditure amounts are not reviewed by School management for accuracy and completeness. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Context: Not applicable. Identification As A Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: The School should maintain proper documentation for all expense reimbursement submittals.
