SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

During our review of internal controls related to Federal programs, we noted a lack of controls to assure that all claims are properly filed for reimbursement. Additionally, the District was not reconciling claims made for Federal program reimbursement to revenues collected for federal programs. We specifically determined that the District?s November 2018 and December 2018 Child Nutrition Program claims had never been submitted for payment. These claims totaled $123,473.24. Criteria: As a condition of receiving Federal awards, non-federal entities agree to maintain internal control to provide reasonable assurance that the entity?s objectives relating to compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal programs and awards will be achieved. Effect: The District may not receive all Federal monies due for amounts claimed but not received. This condition also could preclude the preparation of reliable financial statements and/or federal reports. Recommendation: We recommend that someone be designated to monitor that all eligible federal program disbursements are properly claimed for reimbursement and that claims filed are reconciled to receipts written and cash deposited. Response: The District has subsequently submitted the November 2018 and December 2018 Child Nutrition Program claims for reimbursement. The District has also agreed to assign responsibility to someone for reconciling federal claims to related revenue received.
