Finding 2022-002: Reporting Federal program information: Funding Agency: Department of Agriculture Title: Child Nutrition Cluster AL Number: 10.553 & 10.555 Award year and number: 2022 206216 DPI NSL 547 & 2022 206216 DPI SB 546 Criteria: The School Food Authority and sponsors must submit monthly claims for reimbursement for meals and snacks served to eligible students within 60 days following the last day of the month covered by the claim (7 CFR sections 210.8, 220.11, 215.10, and 225.15(c)). Condition: In our testing of 2 out of the 10 months claimed, we determined actual meals were different than the claimed amounts. Due to the error, we obtained the information for the remaining months and determined the District claimed a net of 3,879 fewer meals than the number served. The District informed the Department of Public Instruction of the error and it has been resolved. Known Questioned Costs: None Cause: There was inadequate review of the data being submitted as amounts were not reconciled to the supporting documentation. Effect: The meals claimed could be higher or lower than the meals served. The District could potentially have questioned costs or it could not claim the full reimbursement of grant amounts. Recommendation: District staff should review the monthly claims to the supporting documentation of meals served. Management's Response: The District agrees with the finding and has implemented a system to reconcile the meals served to the claimed amounts.
