The property tax shift is an accounting entry that takes a portion of the
school district's property tax revenue and moves it forward one fiscal
year, i.e., taxes that would otherwise be revenue for fiscal year 2014
are shifted into fiscal year 2013. This shift replaces state aid that will
be repaid at some future date. The property tax shift requirement is in
Minnesota Statutes, section 123B.75, subdivision 5.

Corrected
Deficiency 2012-1 Ineligible students were being
provided services by Title I teachers
Deficiency 2012-2- Controls did not detect that ineligible
students were receiving free and reduced meals & some
students should have received free and reduced
benefits, but didn’t.
Deficiency 2012-3 – Documenting Time Charged to
Federal Programs
Work in Progress
Deficiency 2012-4 – Period End Financial Reporting
Process
The audit requires separate reporting on our consideration of Internal
Controls and Compliance.
Control deficiency is when the design or operation of a control does
not allow management or employees, in the normal course of
performing their assigned functions to prevent or detect financial
misstatements on a timely basis.
Material Weakness
Reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the
financial statements will not be prevented or detected by the
District’s internal controls.
Significant Deficiency
Deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that
is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to
merit attention by those charged with governance."

The District has improved its financial position in the past year.
Need to continue to strengthen its fund balances.
The District needs to continue to closely monitor its accounting
for revenues & expenditures related to Day Treatment & Special
Ed. Billings need to be done in a timely manner with proper
oversight. Once payments for the prior year are finalized the
current year budget should be reviewed as actual receipts can
vary from estimated receipts.
The District needs to monitor its rising unfunded OPEB actuarial
accrued liability and consider how it is going to fund the coming
deficit. Also consider using General Fund assets instead of OPEB
assets for future retirement incentives.
The District needs to balance the need for capital maintenance
with taking on additional debt.

Thanks to the District Staff for their
cooperation during the audit.
