2020-001
FAC accepted this audit on January 27, 2022 — management decision was due July 27, 2022.
Claims for reimbursement are not being submitted timely. Context: Two of the eight reimbursements for the fiscal year were submitted after the due date. One of the two delinquent months was March 2020, 17 days late, and that was due to the shutdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The other delinquent claim was for November 2019 and was 29 days late. Effect: This is an area that has been reported on for the last four audits. The results in 2020 were vastly improved over those years with only two delinquencies, and one of those coinciding with the District closure for the pandemic. While improvements have been made in the processes, any untimely submissions could result in the District not receiving a federal reimbursement, partial or full, under the program and leaving the general fund to cover the expenditures of the program. Questioned costs: None Identification of a repeat finding: This is a repeat finding from the previous four audits ? 2016-001, 2017- 001, 2018-001, and 2019-001. Whether sampling was statistically valid: Sampling was not used for testing. Cause: Personnel were unable to prepare the information for submission by the 10th of each month for the previous month. Recommendation: The improved status of this repeat finding indicates that previous recommendations to establish procedures were followed and changes implemented. As there were still a few untimely filed submissions, our recommendation is to continue reviewing and modifying those established procedures, especially as they relate to monitoring the filing dates, in an effort to close this type of finding completely. View of responsible officials: We agree with the finding listed for the Wilkinson County School District Office of Child Nutrition. Our official response will be in the formal corrective action plan.
