Cost Allowability
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYQUESTIONED COSTS

Livingston County Special Services Unit recorded one expenditure twice. Questioned Costs: $2,099.99 Effect: Livingston County Special Services Unit received reimbursement through their federal award twice for the same expenditure. Cause: Livingston County Special Services Unit charged an allowable expenditure to the grant. The Unit also received a local grant that would pay for the same expenditure. The bookkeeper attempted to transfer the expenditure to the local grant; however, she inadvertently entered the expenditure a second time instead of removing it. The original allowable expenditure was therefore duplicated on the federal grant expenditure reports, and the Unit received reimbursement for it twice. Auditor?s Recommendation: When Livingston County Special Services Unit wants to transfer an expenditure to be paid by other grant awards, they should modify the original expenditure entry instead of making a new entry to transfer the expenditure out of the federal grant expenditures. In addition, we recommend that the Unit return the questioned cost of $2,099.99 to the Illinois State Board of Education. Management?s Response: Livingston County Special Services Unit will ensure that proper procedures are followed when correcting an error or making a transfer. The Executive Director and Fiscal Agent will ensure proper training on such practices is provided, and that any instances where a change or transfer of funds is required is monitored by the Executive Director and Fiscal Agent.
