The Washington State Auditor’s Office published findings in audits of Educational Service District 112 and the Washington State School for the Blind this week. Both reports and findings can be viewed at http://1.usa.gov/1p0xAEr.
One audit reported ESD 112 did not comply with federal procurement requirements for the Child and Adult Care Food Program. It was the second time a state audit found fault with the program.
After the first critical audit report was issued, ESD 112 changed several procedures to comply with the law. But it was unable to complete the process in time to comply for all purchases made during the 2012-13 school year. The State Auditor’s Office will review ESD 112’s corrective action during its next audit. ESD 112 provides services to school districts and children throughout Southwest Washington.
In a separate finding, the auditor reported the Washington State School for the Blind lacks internal controls to adequately monitor and account for local funds. The school did not obtain adequate documentation to support expenditures made from the Betterment Fund.
