The District overstated expenditures on the ESSER I June 30, 2021 expenditure report. Questioned Costs: The ESSER I 2020 project year's June 30, 2021 expenditure report included $10,678 of questioned costs. Purchased Services were overstated by $2,300, Supplies and Materials were overstated by $6,035, and Capital Outlay was overstated by $2,343 when compared to the accounting records. Context: The ESSER I 2020 project year's June 30, 2021 expenditure report included $10,678 of questioned costs. Purchased Services were overstated by $2,300, Supplies and Materials were overstated by $6,035, and Capital Outlay was overstated by $2,343 when compared to the accounting records. Effect: Expenditures reported on the final project expenditure report were overstated by $10,678. Excluding the $10,678 of overstated expenditures from the calculation of over all expenditures of federal awards resulted in the district expending less than $750,000 of federal awards during the year ended June 30, 2021 and thereby not being subject to the Uniform Guidance/Single Audit provisions. Cause: ESSER I 2020 project year's final expenditures were reported in error. Recommendation: Grant expenditures should be reviewed and reconciled back to the accounting records prior to submitting final reports; ISBE grants division should be contacted regarding this discrepancy. Management's response: The District agrees that the expenditures claimed on the June 30, 2021 expenditure report was overstated by $10,678 and in the future will review and reconcile the expenditure reports to the accounting records before submitting to ISBE.
