MATERIAL WEAKNESSQUESTIONED COSTSOTHER MATTERS

The District requests its auditor to draft the year-end financial statements and accompanying notes. Criteria: Establishing internal controls over the preparation of the financial statements and drafting the financial statement is the responsibility of management. The District should have an internal control system in place related to oversight and review of the preparation of the financial statements. In addition, the Uniform Guidance requires the auditee to prepare appropriate financial statements in accordance with section 200.510. Cause: The District does not have an internal control system in place to prepare the financial statements and related notes. This condition is common in an organization of this size due to the limited number of office staff. Effect: The District engages its auditor to draft the financial statements and related notes to the financial statements. The possibility of fraud or errors occurring and not being detected or corrected is present. Repeat of Prior Year Finding: No. Auditor?s Recommendation: We recommend that management develop a system of internal control to ensure proper reporting of the financial statements and notes to the financial statements. If management does not have the resources or expertise to prepare the financial statements, we recommend that a qualified CPA be engaged to mitigate or eliminate this control weakness. View of Management: Management agrees with the finding. A response can be found in the Corrective Action Plan.
