The District does not have adequate internal controls and segregation of duties over financial reporting, and relies upon the auditor for this expertise. We also noted bank reconciliations were not properly prepared for most of the fiscal year. Context: It was determined that District personnel do not have the expertise necessary to prepare external financial reports without assistance from the auditor and there is a lack of segregation of duties over payroll and cash disbursement functions.

2 CFR section 200.302(b)(3-4) states ?The financial management system of each non-Federal entity must provide for the following? (3) Records that identify adequately the source and application of funds for federally-funded activities. These records must contain information pertaining to Federal awards, authorizations, financial obligations, unobligated balances, assets, expenditures, income and interest and be supported by source documentation. (4) Effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets. The non-Federal entity must adequately safeguard all assets and assure that they are used solely for authorized purposes.? During our audit we noted $13,612.46 of payroll expenditures were counted twice on the June 30, 2022. $13,612.46 was over claimed. This is the actual amount. We believe this was a clerical error and extrapolation wasn?t practical because of the nature of discrepancy it was difficult to quantify them against all grant expenditures as this appears to be an isolated clerical error.

Corrective Action Plan

The District will create general ledger accounts to better segregate and track expenditures specific to grant programs. The District will also have grant expenditures reports reviewed by someone other than the preparer before submission.
