Finding Text

FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM – 10.553, 10.555, 10.559 Child Nutrition Cluster SPECIFIC REQUIREMENT – Reimbursements for federal awards should be reviewed and approved by a second individual. CONDITION: Reviews of reimbursements for the Child Nutrition Program Cluster were not evidenced by a signature and date. QUESTIONED COSTS: NONE. CONTEXT: The finding is limited to this major program and the context noted in the condition. EFFECT: Without controls or procedures in place to ensure program reimbursements are reviewed internally before filing there exists the chance of monies being misappropriated or miscalculated, as well as a likelihood of a material misstatement in the financial statements. CAUSE: No internal reviews were conducted before filing for program reimbursements. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the District establish procedures to internally review reimbursements, while also maintaining a record of the review. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS: The district will provide a clear segregation of duties between the preparer and the approver by documenting written approval prior to submission of the student counts through the CNPWeb.
