Condition: The total number of children reported on the Impact Aid application was correct for children residing on Indian lands, both with and without disabilities, and it was also correct for total membership enrolled with disabilities. However, the supporting data provided for children with disabilities did not agree with the information used to prepare and report on the Impact Aid application as follows: Criteria: The District is responsible for reporting a correct count of federally connected children in various categories on their Impact Aid application, including children with disabilities. Cause: When preparing the Impact Aid application, the District used an incorrect report that was not updated for children with disabilities as of the survey date. The procedures in place to monitor accuracy of the final application before submission were not sufficient to avoid undetected errors. Effect: The District may receive incorrect Impact Aid under the grant application than is appropriate for federally connected children and those receiving special services based if an incorrect number of children is reported. Recommendation: District personnel should enhance control procedures to monitor the application process to ensure correct information is being reported.
