2022 ? 003 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Federal Program Name: Child Nutrition Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 10.553/10.555/10.559 Federal Award Identification Number and Year: FY 2021 and FY 2022 Pass-Through Agency: Indiana Department of Education Pass-Through Numbers: FY 2020-21, FY 2021-22 Award Period: July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022 Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance, Other Matters Criteria or specific requirement: Program income is gross income earned by a non-federal entity that is directly generated by a supported activity or earned as a result of the federal award during the period of performance (unless there is a requirement for disposition of program income after the end of the period of performance as provided in 2 CFR section 200.307(f)). Program income must be properly determined or calculated in accordance with stated criteria, and program income may only collected from allowable sources. The School Corporation should have controls in place to ensure the existence and accuracy of all program income earned and used by the grant.2 CFR 200.303 states in part: ?The Non-Federal entity must: (b) Establish and maintain effective internal control over the Federal award that provides reasonable assurance that the non-Federal entity is managing the Federal award in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in 'Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government' issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the 'Internal Control Integrated Framework', issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). . . ." Condition: The School Corporation was unable to provide documentation to support amounts, usage of funds, and controls surrounding program income. Questioned costs: None Context: In a statistically valid sample, 5 of 5 transactions tested lacked supporting documentation. Cause: No internal controls implemented Effect: Lack of proper documentation of controls over compliance with program income requirements could result in improper recording and usage of income earned by the program. This could ultimately result in questioned costs. Repeat Finding: The finding is a repeat of a finding in the immediately prior audit report. Prior audit finding number was 2020-002. Recommendation: We recommend that School Corporation management establish a system of internal controls to ensure compliance with the grant agreement and program income requirements. Documentation should be retained to support the existence and accuracy of all program income earned. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
