OTHER MATTERS

The compliance requirements for "L.Reporting", requires the District to maintain accurate accounting records for grant expenditures. During compliance testing of the District's accounting records to the expenditure report filed with ISBE, we noted an excessive amount of journal entries were needed recorded under the audit. A system of internal control and management review is necessary in order to ensure that the District transactions claimed under the Title I grant are correctly recorded into the proper accounting records. Posting an excessive amount of journal entries under the audit to move expenditures from District's general accounting records into the grant accounting records, increases the risk of material misstatements due to error or fraud. Controls were not being followed in order to ensure that all transactions or journal entries were reviewed and correctly posted in a timely manner to the grant accounting records. We recommend that the District review the accounting records each quarter and verify all expenditures claimed are under the grant accounting records and all journal entries necessary are posted prior to yearend.
