Summary

District and audit presenters summarized six findings from the 2024–25 audit—two repeat findings related to fixed assets plus issues in bank reconciliation, CACFP monitoring, federal reporting, and preschool expenditure oversight—and described corrective steps including staff training, document centralization, and periodic reviews.

District staff and auditors reviewed six audit findings from the 2024–25 fiscal audit and outlined corrective actions intended to prevent repeat findings.

Key findings and fixes: Presenters described two repeat issues tied to fixed‑asset accounting and coding related to a large capital project (Northshore), which required coordination with the county to locate documentation and correct coding. Other findings included incomplete bank reconciliations, monitoring errors in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) tied to frequency of observations, gaps in federal reporting documentation due to staff turnover, and an oversight that left a preschool expense incorrectly in a restricted account. The district said steps include training a new fiscal director, centralizing supporting documents for federal reports in shared locations, implementing monthly bank reconciliations, additional monitoring for nutrition services, and periodic management review of federal program expenditures.

Who spoke: Julie Vigil and the former executive CBO, Ms. Daniela, described the causes (staff turnover, coding gaps) and the district’s corrective action plan. The new fiscal director, Ms. Erica Flores, was introduced and noted as part of the staffing changes to reduce repeat findings.

What’s next: The auditors will follow up on the corrective actions during the next audit cycle; the district said it will continue training and expand oversight steps to ensure compliance and avoid repeat findings.
