To strengthen the oversight of financial management in the School, Academica Nevada, the School?s management company, has increased staffing to realign staff responsibilities to reduce individual workloads and provide additional oversight and review. On a monthly basis, reconciliations will be performed on grant submissions and expenditures, and reviewed by the Controller, Director of Accounting, or CFO. The annual SEFA will be reviewed by the Director of Finance or CFO.
