Finding Text
Criteria or specific requirement (including statutory, regulatory, or other citation): The compliance requirements for "L.Reporting", requires the District to maintain accurate accounting records for grant expenditures. In addition, per subpart D (Post Federal Award Requirements), ? 200.302, the underlying accounts records must be adequately documented and consistent with the terms and conditions of the grant. Condition: During compliance testing of the District's accounting records to the expenditure report filed with the Illinois State Board of Education, we noted the School District claimed $581 worth of expenditures which had not been paid or recorded as of the reporting period. Questioned Costs: $581. Context: The District claimed expenditures that did not agree with their underlying accounting records. Effect: The District was not compliant with reporting requirements. The district inadvertently claimed $581 worth of expenditures earlier than they should have been claimed. Cause: The District claimed $581 prior to payment and recording of the expenditure. This caused the $581 to be claimed earlier than it had been incurred. Recommendation: We recommend that management review its policies and procedures and implement changes to strengthen internal control over federal reporting. Management's response: The District has agreed with the findings and recommendation as presented. See Corrective Action Plan provided by the School District.
