Finding Text

Criteria: Pursuant to 2 CFR part 200 section 302 indicates that the District is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the District is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Condition: All of the four reports selected for testing the Child Nutrition Cluster did not have sufficient audit evidence to demonstrate that they were approved prior to submission. There were no noted instances of noncompliance with reporting requirements related to the reports selected. Cause: Due to staff oversight, the District was not aware the reports needed to show signs of approval prior to submission. Effect: Internal controls over reporting were not operating effectively. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: The District should establish internal control procedures over reporting requirements. Management’s Response: The District will continue to review its internal control procedures over reporting and establish procedures to ensure reports show signs of approval prior to submission.
