Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
MATERIAL WEAKNESS

During our testing, we noted the Southern Door County School District did not have adequate internal controls designed to ensure vendors were not suspended or debarred. Questioned costs: None Context: During our testing, it was noted that the Southern Door County School District was not reviewing vendors prior to entering into a contract with a vendor to ensure the vendor was not on the suspended or debarred vendor list maintained by the General Services Administration. Cause: The Southern Door County School District was unaware the contractors were not being reviewed to ensure they were not suspended or debarred. Effect: The District could be conducting business with vendors who are suspended or debarred. The auditor noted no instances of noncompliance with the provisions of suspension, and debarment; however, the lack of internal controls over these compliance requirements provides an opportunity for noncompliance. Repeat Finding: The finding is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend the Southern Door County School District design controls to ensure an adequate review process is in place to review potential contractors to determine they are not suspended or debarred. We recommend the District's Grant Administrators review compliance requirements and follow the established policies of the district. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYREPEAT OF 2021-001

The District does not have adequate segregation of duties in its accounting function. Specifically, one individual has the ability to cut checks, performs the bank reconciliations and enters transactions in the accounting software. Checks print automatically with an electronic signature when printed from the accounting system. Cause: A small number of individuals within the District?s administration perform substantially all accounting functions and have control over both records and assets. Effect or Potential Effect: The lack of segregation of accounting duties could create an opportunity for misstatements caused by error or fraud to occur and go undetected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Recommendation: Due to the size of the District, it is not practical to hire additional individuals in order to adequately segregate accounting duties; therefore, we recommend that the Administrator?s and School Board?s close supervision, review of accounting information and knowledge of matters relating to the District?s financial operations provide an effective means of preventing and detecting errors and irregularities.
