Corrective Action Plan

Corrective Action Plan for Findings - Material Audit Adjustments ? Administration was relatively new to the district at the time of the audit, which created a learning curve for the internal service fund. The district will make sure that all material entries related to the internal service fund and grant revenue are completed prior to the auditor's review. - Independent Review of Manual Journal Entries ? A journal entry form has been created. The form details the account numbers be affected by the transaction and must have back documentation attached to justify the amounts. The transaction is signed by the individual creating the entry, verified by the Director of Business & Operations and then input by the Business Office secretary where it is numbered and scanned into the system. - Allowable Cost/Cost Principles - Payroll Documentation The district will maintain semi-annual certifications signed twice a year (January and June) to verify payroll expenditures being charged to federal grants.

The Uniform Guidance requires the District to support payroll charged to federal cost objectives with adequate documentation in accordance with the District's payroll policies. Per the District's federal policies, the District is required to support payroll charges to federal cost objectives with adequate documentation including semi-annual payroll certifications for employees charged 100% to a single federal cost objective and with Personnel Activity Reports or timesheets for those who split their time between multiple cost objectives. Condition. Of the 40 payroll transactions selected for testing, four (all related to the same employee) lacked documentation that complied with the District's policies. Cause.

As a result of this condition, the District does not have appropriate payroll support for four of the transactions charged to the grant. Questioned Costs. The total charges included in our sample that were not supported by allowable documentation amounted to $8,674. Recommendation.
