2022-004. Internal Control & Compliance ? Record-Keeping Criteria: The District is responsible for keeping records in a suitable condition to accurately support the positions taken by the school in areas of payroll and payroll related expenditures. Condition: During the audit, the District was unable to provide the original teacher?s contracts to support the salaries paid which are relied upon to properly support the expenditures for some federal programs. Cause: The District did not keep the records organized and readily available, so the District was unable to provide the original teacher?s contracts at the time of audit. Effect or Potential Effect: Without having the original teacher?s contracts to properly support the expenditures taken for federal programs, improper amounts could have been requested from federal programs. This could lead to loss of future federal monies to pay these teachers. Recommendation: We recommend that management be more organized in their record-keeping. Responsible Official?s Response: The District concurs with the recommendation, and have already taken steps to keep records more organized and easier to find.
