2022-014: U.S. Department of Education Passed through State of Nevada Public Charter School Authority and State of Nevada Department of Education COVID-19 Education Stabilization Fund, 84.425 Other Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Grant Award Number: Affects all grant awards included under assistance listing 84.425 on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. Criteria: Title 2 Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) requires the School to prepare a Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). Condition: Amounts were originally reported incorrectly on the SEFA. Cause: The School did not have adequate internal controls to provide for the review of journal entries that allocate expenses to federal programs or the SEFA to ensure total federal expenditures were appropriately reported on the SEFA. Effect: Prior to correction, total federal expenditures were less than $750,000 and a single audit was not required. The education stabilization fund was understated by $186,306. Questioned Costs: None noted Context/Sampling: No sampling was used; all program expenditures on the SEFA were reconciled to supporting records. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: No Recommendation: We recommend the School enhance internal controls to provide for the review of journal entries that allocate expenses to federal programs and the SEFA to ensure total federal expenditures are appropriately reported on the SEFA. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with this finding.
