School staff had not accurately counted meal for part of the school year Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to provide reasonable assurance over accurate meal counts. . Cause: During a portion of the school year staff miscounted meals distributed to distance learning students. Boxed meals which contained several meals were counted as just one meal and reimbursed as such. Effect: Because the meal count was understated the schools food service program was underfunded for a portion of the year. The school is still in the process of getting reimbursed for all meals served. Recommendation: We recommend that the school put into place a process that allows for accurate meal counts as well as an organized review of all meal counts performed by staff. Management Response: During the school year 2020 - 21, Hennepin Schools was serving boxes of food to families who were on Distance Learning. For the first 2 months, a staff member accidently counted one box as one meal in CLICs, when in reality one box was 10 meals per child. All food distribution was tracked using google spreadsheets and counts were accurately reported. The issue was that one tally mark was not converted to the correct number of meals prior to submission for reimbursement. When the error was discovered, the assistant operations manager and the school director assisted the person in charge of ordering food by double and triple checking the monthly counts before submission to CLICs. In addition, the person in charge of ordering food and the accounts payable processor checked that the number of monthly meals billed matched the number of meals received to be sure that they were in close correlation. For school year 2021 - 22, the food manager double-checks the daily food tallies located in a Google spreadsheet for both schools. Before entering the monthly totals into CLICs, she ensures the amounts ordered and the amounts served are within a realistic norm and her supervisor does a double check. The accounts payable processor continues to check that the number of monthly meals billed match the number of meals received within reason.
