Finding Text

Findings ? Financial Statement Audit None noted Findings and Questioned Costs ? Major Federal Award Programs Condition: The FS-25 completed for ARP ESSER 3 contains expenditures included expenses from other Education Stabilization grants. Criteria: Expenditures reported on the ARP ESSER 3 FS-25 are higher than end of year general ledger ARP ESSER 3 expenditure amount. This is due to District reporting expenditure from other grants on the ARP ESSER 3 FS-25. Cause: Due to timing of application approval and purchasing of grant budgeted items, District filed for reimbursement on one (1) FS-25 instead of four (4) individual ARP FS-25s Effect or Potential Effect: Inaccurate federal grant expenditure reimbursement. Known Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendations: FS-25s should only be completed for expenditure reimbursement for items directly pertaining to the specific grant. Grant reimbursement should not be grouped, but rather individual FS-25s completed for each grant containing only expenditures applicable to the grant.
