Finding Text
Criteria: Reporting. All quarterly expenditure reports must be filed with the Illinois State Board of Education no later than 20 days after the end of the quarter. Condition: We noted that 12 of the quarterly expenditure reports were not filed in a timely manner. Questioned Costs: None. Context: 12 OF 24 quarterly expenditure reports for both programs were submitted between 5 and 85 days after the 20-day deadline. This was an oversight by management personnel in the District due to turnover in the District Office. Cause: The District did not employ proper oversight to ensure that the quarterly expenditure reports were filed timely. Recommendation: We recommend that steps are taken, including oversight by a second employee, to ensure that all quarterly expenditure reports are filed by the due dates. Management's Response: The District will take the necessary steps to file all quarterly expenditure reports on time in the future.
