We noted the following items during our cash management review: 1. Supporting Effective Instruction State grants had $24,418 in excessive cash at the end of the fiscal year. $24,418 was shown as a deferred revenue and was not expended by the district by year end. Context: Federal funds were reviewed for excessive cash balances and/or fund balances at year end. Cause: Improper internal controls resulted through an error in the district not requesting reimbursements accurately. Effect: By requiring more than one staff member to review the reimbursement request reduces the risk of fraud and errors occurring and not being detected within a timely period. Improper internal controls concerning grant funding allocations could result in questioned cost by the federal agencies. Recommendation: The district should implement stronger internal controls to ensure that all reimbursements are requested accurately in each area when the expenditure is actually expended by the district. Response: Please refer to the Auditee?s Corrective Action Plan beginning on page 72.
