Corrective Action Plan

Seaford UFSD Corrective Action Plan in Response Single Audit Report of June 30, 2021 by R.S. Abrams & Co., LLP Current Year Findings and Recommendations Finding #2021-001: The District did not establish written policies or procedures for the support of the salaries and wages charged to federal awards. District Response: This finding was a repeat of the 2018-19 fiscal year when the prior Business Official communicated that the District was consulting with legal counsel to prepare a manual of written policies and procedures. There was no follow-up as to this finding until the 2020-21 fiscal year and no implementation had been accomplished. As a result, the current Assistant Superintendent for Business and Operations had to address this finding and provide the manual of written policies and procedures. Communications are being sent to all departments with the appropriate materials to ensure that this is accomplished correctly. The said policies and procedures are based on the requirements contained in the Uniform Guidance for the support of the salaries and wages charged to federal awards. Contact Person(s) Responsible for Corrective Action: Rhonda L. Meserole, CPA, Assistant Superintendent for Business & Operations, Ms. Mary Catherin Culella-Sun, Director of PPS and Cristina Spinelli, District Treasurer Anticipated Completion Date: March 31, 2022
