The FAC accepted this audit on October 23, 2023. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by April 23, 2024 (866 days ago).
What is a management decision? →The lack of appropriate policies, procedures, and internal control processes led to a failure to accurately record financial information in the proper period and material audit adjusting entries. During the audit, auditor proposed adjusting journal entries were posted for the following: Current year pension activity in accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) No. 68, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Pensions, current year lease activity in accordance with GASB No. 87, Leases, correction of duplicate payments, capitalization of property and equipment expenditures, calculation and posting of current year depreciation, correction of unrecorded accounts payable and related expenses, and correction of unrecorded accounts receivable and related governmental revenues. Cause: The School has experienced turnover in its financial department and outsourced accounting function. This has led to a failure to establish adequate internal control processes to detect and prevent inaccurate financial reporting. Effect: Insufficient internal controls over financial reporting could result in accounting errors or material misstatement due to error or fraud. Recommendation: Marshall Jones recommends that the School receive additional assistance in improving their financial reporting processes from individuals who are familiar with GAAP and governmental grant accounting. Marshall Jones also recommends that management establish policies and procedures to ensure that management level reviews of monthly and annual financial information are performed on a timely basis. Views of Responsible Officials: Management of the School acknowledges the finding. Please refer to the Corrective Action Plan.

September 29, 2023, Audit Period For the Year July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023, Re: Request for Corrective Action Plan - Material Weakness, The Main Street Academy (TMSA) is in receipt of The Financial Statement Finding from Marshall Jones. TMSA responds as follows:Recommendation: Marshall Jones recommends that the School receive additional assistance in improving its financial reporting processes from individuals who are familiar with GAAP and governmental grant accounting. Marshall Jones also recommends that management establish policies and procedures to ensure that management-level reviews of monthly and annual financial information are performed on a timely basis. Views of Responsible Officials: The management of the School acknowledges the finding and concurs with the recommendation of Marshall Jones and provides the following Corrective Action Plan.Response of Responsible Officials: To continuously improve TMSA’s Accounting and Financial Reporting, workflows, and internal controls, TMSA transitioned back-office accounting providers mid-fiscal year (February 2023) due to various noted back-office operating weaknesses with the previous accounting provider. The previous back-office accounting provider did not set up the books well for continuation and transition. As a result, significant journal entries required correction by the new back-accounting provider to correct and strengthen the overall financials and back-office operating procedures of the organization. The management of the school and the current firm (Belay Accounting) have knowledge in the areas of both GASB and GAAP. The current back-office accounting provider and firm will continue with their existing monthly reviews of TMSA’s financials. The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of the back-office firm Belay Accounting will work with the management of the school to continue to review the work of the back-office accounting staff monthly, specifically checking for adherence to GASB and GAAP standards. Following the transition from the previous back-office accounting provider to the current back-office accounting provider; the management of the school updated on February 10, 2023, its Financial & Accounting Control Policies & Procedures to further strengthen TMSA’s internal controls.Corrective Action Plan: The management of the school and the back-office accounting provider will continue to seek and attend training, in addition to receiving additional assistance to continue improving the financial reporting processes as recommended. Since the transition to the current back-office accounting provider and firm, monthly and annual financial reviews are currently being performed on a timely basis, which was not the case in the past with the previous back-office accounting provider. The management of the school will work with the CFO and back-office accounting staff to ensure that financial reviews and reporting continue to be performed on a timely basis. In partnership, Chaddrick Owes, Ed.D., Executive Director
