The District did not maintain documentation supporting the compensation expenditures charged to the program for eleven building secretaries that have a portion of their compensation charged to the Nutrition Program. An initial allocation percentage was determined for budget purposes. The employee timesheets do not separately indicate the time actually spent on the Nutrition program. Questioned Costs: $0 Context: There are eleven elementary building secretaries that have a portion of their compensation charged to the Nutrition Program. Effect: Noncompliance with program requirements could occur and not be timely identified. The program may not be properly charged for the actual time worked on the activity. Cause: The employees are building secretaries for the District?s elementary schools that have different time record keeping documentation than Nutrition program employees and are supervised by building principles rather than by the Nutrition department. Identification of as a Repeat Finding: This is a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recognize the District implemented requesting signed certifications from the elementary building secretaries as planned when the finding was initially identified in fiscal year 2017. We recommend the District implement a process to accurately document the actual hours worked for the Nutrition program. Response and Corrective Action Plan: Beginning July 1, 2019, only nutrition employees are charged to the program. New position were posted during fiscal year 2019 to eliminate having non-nutrition employees allocate time for the program.
