IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER TO CHANGE THE FISCAL YEAR

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS THAT ALLOWS YOUR SCHOOL DISTRICT THE AUTHORITY TO SPEND APPROPRIATED MONEY

TEMPORARY APPROPRIATIONS ESTIMATE OF NEEDS NEW BUDGET ACT SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATIONS

ESTIMATE OF NEEDS OR BUDGET (If you are on the New Budget Act) IS DUE OCTOBER 1 TO COUNTY EXCISE BOARD & SDE

Audit Contract Audit contracts must be filed no later than Friday, June 28, 2013 Execute in Triplicate: One for School File One for Contracting Auditing Firm One for SDE Contracts must not be dated prior to January 7, 2013 Approved List of Auditors is on the State Auditor and Inspector’s Website or the SDE’s Financial Accounting Website.

Audits Audit Determination Letters State Department of Education notifies districts around late December early January whether the district needs an “A” audit or a “B” audit. Letters are calculated from previous year’s data upload. Calculation combines federal revenue received, federal encumbrances, federal warrants and commodities (from DHS)

Audits Districts who have expended $500,000 or more in federal money are what is referred to as an “A” audit. These audits must be completed, presented to the local board of education and submitted to Financial Accounting no later than March 30. Districts who have expended less than $500,000 in federal money are what is referred to as an “B” audit. These audits must be completed, presented to the local board of education and submitted to Financial Accounting no later than April 30.

Audits Regardless of which type of audit is performed, the audit must be submitted to Financial accounting thirty days after it has been presented to the local board of education. 70 O.S. § “Thirty (30) days after the audit presentation to the local board of education, forward one copy of the audit report to the SDE”

Audits State Department of Education reviews the audit in accordance with: Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular No. A-133 Oklahoma Public School Audit Law, Title 70, Section 22 Oklahoma Administrative Code 210: Auditing

Audits (OMB) Circular No. A-133 has defined three areas of responsibility: Pass Through Entity- State Department of Education Auditee- District Auditor- District’s Auditor

Audits Auditee’s Responsibilities Identify…all Federal awards received and expended …” Maintain internal control over Federal programs…” Comply with laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements related to each of its Federal programs.” Prepare appropriate financial statements, including the schedule of expenditures of Federal awards Ensure that the audits required by this part are properly performed and submitted when due.” Follow up and take corrective action on audit findings, including preparation of a summary schedule of prior audit findings and a corrective action”

Audits Pass Through Entity’s Responsibility Identify Federal awards made by informing each subrecipient of CFDA title and number, award name and number, award year. Advise subrecipients of requirements imposed on them by Federal laws, regulations, and the provisions of contracts or grant agreements as well as any supplemental requirements imposed by the pass-through entity. Monitor the activities of subrecipients as necessary to ensure that Federal awards are used for authorized purposes…” (Federal Programs) Ensure that subrecipients expending ($500,000) or more in Federal awards during the subrecipient's fiscal year have met the audit requirements of this part… Issue a management decision on audit findings within six months after receipt of the subrecipient's audit report and ensure that the subrecipient takes appropriate and timely corrective action. Consider whether subrecipient audits necessitate adjustment of the pass- through entity's own records.”

Audits Pass Through Entity’s Responsibility Consider whether subrecipient audits necessitate adjustment of the pass-through entity's own records. Determine if audit was received timely Review financial statements Review Schedule of Expenditure of Federal Awards (SEFA) Review Schedule of Prior Year Audit Findings Corrective Action Plan (CAP) If exceptions and/or recommendations have been mentioned in the Management Letter, the Department may ask for a response. Districts can use the CAP form as an example

Audits Pass Through Entity’s Responsibility If errors are found regarding these areas, the State Department will contact the district for corrections. Please note - Regardless of who is responsible for a specific report, the school district is legally responsible to ensure all components are included in the report.

Audits Pursuant to 70 O.S. § The statute provides in part: E.... If within ten (10) months after the end of the fiscal year of the public school a copy of the audit report has not been received by the State Board of Education, an inquiry shall be made by the State Board of Education as to why such report has not been filed. Should the State Board of Education find that the local board of education has failed to cause an annual audit to be commenced, the State Board of Education shall make a written demand on said board to complete and file such annual audit within thirty (30) days of the date of such demand. Pursuant to 70 O.S. § (State Aid withheld for failure to comply with article): “All further “payment” of State Aid for each district shall be withheld until the provisions of this article have been fulfilled by said district.”
