MATERIAL WEAKNESSMODIFIED OPINION

Finding Number: 2025-002 Assistance Listing Number and Title: AL # 10.553/10.555 Child Nutrition Cluster Federal Award Identification Number / Year: 2025 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Agriculture Compliance Requirement: Reporting Pass-Through Entity: Ohio Department of Education and Workforce Repeat Finding from Prior Audit? No Noncompliance and Material Weakness 7 CFR § 210.8(a) states in part, "The school food authority shall establish internal controls which ensure the accuracy of meal counts prior to the submission of the monthly Claim for Reimbursement. At a minimum, these internal controls shall include: an on-site review of the meal counting and claiming system employed by each school within the jurisdiction of the school food authority; comparisons of daily free, reduced price and paid meal counts against data which will assist in the identification of meal counts in excess of the number of free, reduced price and paid meals served each day to children eligible for such meals; and a system for following up on those meal counts which suggest the likelihood of meal counting problems. 7 CFR § 220.11(b) states in part, “Claims for Reimbursement shall include data in sufficient detail to justify the reimbursement claimed and to enable the State Agency to provide the Reports of School Program Operations required under § 220.13(b)(2). In Ohio, the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (DEW) requires school districts to use the Claims Reporting and Reimbursement System (CRRS) to report meal data for reimbursement. The District uses a point-of-sale system that generates a CN-6 Report (Breakfast) and CN-7 Report (Lunch), which is used to compile the monthly reimbursement request submitted to DEW. Due to insufficient controls over reporting related to breakfast and lunch meal counts, thirty percent of the site claim form submissions during fiscal year 2025 were misreported, resulting in an over-reimbursement of $2,791. The District should develop control policies and procedures to ensure the number of meals served and reported to DEW agree to the respective daily meal count forms and the meals served / tabulated on the point-of-sale system CN-6 and CN-7 Reports. The procedures should include an independent review of the meal counts manually entered into the point-of-sale system, based upon the daily meal count forms, and the meal counts manually entered into CRRS, based upon the point-of-sale system CN-6 and CN-7 reports, by an employee not associated with the computer entry. These review procedures should be acknowledged by initials / signatures on the point-of-sale system reports and the CRRS Site Claim Reports. If there are errors or discrepancies between the point-of-sale reports and the amounts reported to DEW, the District should maintain supporting documentation to demonstrate the meals reported to DEW were accurate and complete.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding Number: 2025-002 Planned Corrective Action: Claims reimbursement will be inspected monthly by a separate person from who is inputting the data to ensure accurate filing of meals served. If discrepancies are discovered, the district will maintain support for the numbers that are submitted to DEW. Anticipated Completion Date: 12/31/2025 Responsible Contact Person: Jared M Bunting, SFO
