REPEAT OF 2021-001OTHER MATTERS

During the course of our audit we noted that the District currently has more than the allowable fund balance in the nonprofit food service fund. As a result, the District will be required to develop a spending plan for reducing the balance to an acceptable level during the current school year. The plan must be submitted to the Michigan Department of Education for prior approval. Excess funds cannot be transferred to the General Fund. Questioned Costs: None Criteria: The U.S. Department of Agriculture requires that the ending fund balance of the nonprofit food service fund does not exceed three months operating expenses (7 CFR Part 210.19(a)(2)). Cause: Unknown Effect: The District is not compliance with U.S. Department of Agriculture regulations. Recommendation: We recommend that the District continue a spending plan to improve the food quality or take other action to improve non-profit food service per applicable federal regulations District Response: The District concurs with the facts of this finding and is implementing procedures to prevent this in the future.
