One employee partially charged to the Nutrition Cluster did not have adequate records reflecting actual time work in and out of the program. An estimated percentage was used to charge the salary and related benefits of the individual to the program. Questioned costs: It was determined that likely questioned costs fall below the $25,000 reporting threshold. Cause and effect: The School District did not have procedures in place to ensure that payroll expenses charged to the program were supported by records indicating actual time worked in the program. This could result in expenses being charged to the program that were not related to the Nutrition Cluster and as a result deemed unallowable. Recommendation: The School District should implement procedures and documentation that accurately supports work performed in the program. Payroll expenditures charged should be based on actual work and time records rather than an estimated percentage. Views of responsible officials: Management agrees with the finding.
