2021-004. SEGREGATION OF DUTIES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Child Nutrition Cluster AL# 10.555 and 10.559 - Grant Period - Year ended June 30, 2021 - Passed through State of Minnesota DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY COVID-19 - Corona Relief Funds AL# 21.019 - Grant Period - Year ended June 30, 2021 - Passed through State of Minnesota DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION COVID-19 - Elementary and Secondary School Education Relief Fund (ESSER) - 90% Formula Allocation AL# 84.425 - Grant Period - Year ended June 30, 2021 - Passed through State of Minnesota Criteria The concentration of duties and responsibilities in a limited number of individuals is not desirable from an internal accounting control point of view. Condition Due to the limited number of personnel within the District's business office, the segregation of accounting functions necessary to ensure adequate internal accounting control is not possible. Effect Because of the weakness in segregation of duties, the District has not provided adequate internal control. Cause This occurred because of staffing limitations caused by fiscal constraints. Recommendations Officials and management of the District should constantly be aware of this condition, attempt to segregate duties as much as possible and provide oversight to partially compensate for this deficiency. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Management agrees with the audit finding. The business manager will continue to monitor all transactions and the District's administration will structure the duties of office and school personnel to ensure sufficient internal controls over federal awards are in place within the District's staffing limitations and funding constraints
