SECTION III. FEDERAL AWARD FINDINGS AND QUESTIONED COSTS American Rescue Plan - Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief 84.425U Child Nutrition Cluster National School Lunch Program 10.553/10.555 Significant Deficiency 2022-003 INTERNAL CONTROL OVER SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS PREPARATION AND REVIEW Criteria As described in our engagement letter, management is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls, including monitoring, and for the fair presentation of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, including the notes to the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, in conformity with the modified cash basis of accounting. Condition The District does not have a system of internal control that would provide manage-ment with reasonable assurance that the District's schedule of expenditures of federal awards and related disclosures are complete and presented in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting. As such, management requested us to compile the trial balance from the general ledger and prepare a draft of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards, including the related note disclosures. Cause Management does not prepare the schedule of expenditures of federal awards in accordance with the modified cash basis of accounting. Potential Effect The potential exists that a material misstatement of the schedule of expenditures of federal awards could occur and not be prevented or detected by the District's internal control. Recommendation We recommend that the District review and approve the proposed auditor adjusting entries and the adequacy of schedule of the expenditures of federal awards disclo-sures prepared by the auditors and apply analytic procedures to the draft financial statements, among other procedures as considered necessary by management.
