SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2019-001

The District has not updated all its existing policies and written procedures to conform to Uniform Guidance requirements. Cause: Staffing constraints related to the effects of the pandemic limited the District?s ability to perform a timely review and update of its existing policies and written procedures. Potential Effect: Not having updated written policies and procedures weaken the internal controls over the Federal award, and could increase the risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes and regulations. Questioned Costs: None reported. Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding from the previous audit referenced as 2019-001, related to the Special Education Cluster. Recommendation: The District must review its existing written policies and procedures and update them as needed in order to comply with requirements of Uniform Guidance. Views of Responsible Officials of Auditee: The District?s Assistant Superintendent for Business will review all policies and procedures relating to US Office of Management and Budget Uniform Guidance to ensure policies are in compliance with these guidelines.
