2024-005 EQUIPMENT/REAL PROPERTY MANAGEMENT
Program: Education Stabilization Fund
CFDA Number: 84.425D, 84.425U
Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Education
Pass-Through Agency: Arizona Department of Education
Grantor Number: 21FESSII-111389-01A, 21FESIII-111389-01A
Questioned Costs: $-0-
Type of Finding: Noncompliance, significant deficiency
Compliance Requirement: F. Equipment/Real Property Management
Condition/Context: The District did not properly update its capital assets listing to include equipment purchased
using Education Stabilization Fund monies. Additionally, the District has not performed a full physical inventory of
its assets purchased using federal monies in the two year period ended June 30, 2024.
Criteria: The District must follow 2 CFR sections 200.313 which requires that: Property records must be maintained
that include a description of the property, a serial number or other identification number, the source of funding
for the property (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 any ultimate disposition data including
the date of disposal and sales price of the property.
Cause: The District did not have proper internal controls over property and equipment to ensure the capital assets
listing was properly updated.
Effect: Noncompliance and internal control weakness. The District could inadvertently use an asset outside of its
intended purpose and assets could go missing.
Repeat Finding: No.
Recommendation: We recommend that the District establish proper internal controls over property and
equipment to ensure all assets are properly recorded on the District’s capital assets listing and those federal
equipment and vehicle are properly tracked and maintained. The District should also complete a full physical
inventory and reconcile the results against the asset listings.
Views of Responsible Officials: There was no disagreement with the finding.
