AI Summary

  • Recommended Follow-Up: Staff should improve awareness of multi-year contract terms to ensure expenses are recorded in the correct periods, utilizing new allocation schedules for better matching.

Finding Text

2022-002 Material Adjustments to the Financial Statements were Required Criteria: Governmental entities are required to maintain a system of internal controls such that all material transactions are properly recorded as to amount, account, and period. Condition: Material adjustments to the Board?s financial statements were required. Material adjustment to the Restricted Fund resulted from the purchase of multi-year subscriptions and licenses that were fully expensed in the current year. Per generally accepted accounting principles, the portion of multi-year contracts that is attributable to future periods is to be record as prepaid expense. Cause: For the current year adjustment, there was a lack of recognition for the purchase of multi-year contracts as to the period of benefit. Effect: Revenues and expenditures were overstated by a material amount in the Restricted Fund. If the adjustments were not made, the financial statements would be materially misstated and could have improperly influenced the users of the financial statements. Repeat Finding: This finding is a repeat of a finding in the prior year audit (Finding 2021-002). Recommendation: We recommend that staff be more cognizant of the terms of multi-year contracts to ensure that expenditures are recognized in the proper period. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: The Board entered into multi-year contracts to garner additional savings for the district during the contractual period. The Board has developed allocation schedules to ensure a more appropriate matching of expense to the financial period. The Board may continue to enter into multi-year agreements for contractual savings but will expense only the portion of the contract in the period of performance.
