AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The School District failed to maintain proper time and effort records for employees funded by ESSER federal grants.
  • Impacted Requirements: Timesheets lacked necessary certification and dating, violating federal regulations (2 CFR 200.430(i)(1)(vii)).
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Ensure all timesheets include employee data, clearly separate federal and non-federal time, and have a signed certification statement.

Finding Text

Criteria: Per federal regulations 2 CFR section 200.430(i)(1)(vii), the School District must maintain time and effort distribution records for an employee who works, all or in part, under federal grants. Condition: The School District did not maintain proper time and effort records for employees who were partially funded with ESSER federal funds. Timesheets did not contain a certification clause that the information submitted accurately reflects the time and effort distribution, and the timesheet was not dated by the employee and/or supervisor. Cause: The School District was not aware of the required detail. Effect: The School District was not in compliance with all of the components of the requirements. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District ensure that all timesheets include the related employee data, clearly identified time segregated between federal and non-federal funding, and a properly signed time and effort certification statement.
