SA-2025-02 – SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAM: 84.287 - Twenty-First Century Community Learning Centers SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS: Reimbursement claims should be reviewed and approved by a second individual and that review documented with a signature and date. CONDITION: We noted in our testing of Twenty-First Century reimbursement claims were not being reviewed before being submitted. QUESTIONED COSTS: None CONTEXT: Reimbursements should be reviewed by a second individual. EFFECT: Without adequate controls in place to make sure claims are properly reviewed before being submitted, there exists the possibility of non compliance to the grant. CAUSE: This was caused by the absence of a documented review process. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the District use someone other than the claim preparer to review the claims before being submitted and documenting the review with a signature and date. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS: The responsible officials recognize the need for an improved review process to ensure grant claims are accurate and properly documented. To address this deficiency, the following actions will be implemented: Role assignment: The Business Manager will prepare and submit each federal grant claim, and the Fiscal Assistant will conduct a review before final submission. This role assignment will ensure both preparation and independent review are in place. Timing and Documentation: The review process will take place in the District business office, with detailed documentation of each review.

CONDITION: We noted in our testing of NSLP claims that claims were not being reviewed before being submitted, and any reviews that may have occurred were not documented. CRITERIA: NSLP claims should be reviewed before submission, and reviews should be documented. EFFECT: Without adequate controls in place to make sure NSLP claims are properly reviewed before being submitted, there exists the possibility of material misstatement in the financial statements. CAUSE: This deficiency was primarily caused by the absence of a structured, documented review process for the NSLP claims before submission. Without a formal requirement to review and document each claim there is an increased risk of errors. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the District use someone other than the claim preparer to review the claims before being submitted, and documenting said review. VIEWS OF RESPONSIBLE OFFICIALS: The responsible officials recognize the need for an improved review process to ensure NSLP claims are accurate and properly document. To address this deficiency, the following actions will be implemented: Role assignment: The fiscal assistant will prepare and submit each NSLP claim, and the Business Manager will conduct a thorough review before final submission. This role assignment will ensure both preparation and indecent review are in place. Timing and Documentation: The review process will take place in the District business office, with detailed documentation of each review.
