MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTS

During review of the food service unassigned fund balance, it was noted that the balance exceeded three months’ average expenditures. The fund balance in the food service fund amounted to $76,935 whereas three months’ average expenditures is $40,267. This generates excess fund balance of $36,668. In addition, we noted that the district transferred funds from the general fund for a potential shortfall, however, this transfer contributed to the overall excess of fund balance at year-end. Effect: The District is not in compliance with CFR Title 7, 210.14(b) by maintaining fund balance more than three months average expenditures. Cause: Lack of administrative oversight and monthly reconciliations. Questioned Costs: $36,668. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that the School District take immediate steps to reduce its net cash resources by having an acceptable, approved plan for using surplus fund balance. Since program funds must be used only for program purposes, excess fund balance must be reduced by improving the quality of food served or purchasing needed supplies, services, or equipment unless otherwise directed by the State of New Hampshire Department of Education. In addition, the School District should monitor and reconcile the food service fund on a more regular basis to ensure only funds needed to cover a deficit are transferred. Views of Responsible Officials: Management’s views and corrective action plan is included at the end of this report.
