Significant Deficiency, other Non-Compliance
Compliance Requirement: Equipment/Real Property Management
Criteria: According to 2 CFR section 200.313(d)(1), detailed property records must be maintained for equipment acquired under a federal grant award. Records should include a description of the property, a serial number or identification number, the source of funding (including the federal award identification number), who holds title, the acquisition date, cost of the property, percentage of federal participation in the project costs for the federal award under which the property was acquired, the location, use and condition of the property, and ultimate disposition data.
Condition: During our audit, we noted the District’s fixed asset records were incomplete for some of the assets acquired with federal grant funding during the fiscal year.
Cause: The timing of fixed asset additions to the District’s fixed asset records did not align with the acquisition date.
Effect: If the District’s fixed asset records are incomplete, they may not be properly safeguarded, and the District may not comply with the aforementioned federal regulations. The District is aware of these assets and plans to capitalize the assets during the 2023-2024 fiscal year.
Questioned Costs: None.
Recommendation: We recommend that the District update their fixed asset records to include required information for assets purchased with federal awards and that a system of communication and a review process be implemented to ensure completeness and timing of fixed asset addition records.
District’s Response: The District’s response is included in their corrective plan
