Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on October 7, 2025. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by April 7, 2026 (160 days ago).
What is a management decision? →For the acquisition of small purchases of which the aggregate dollar amount is higher than the micro-purchase threshold ($10,000) but does not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold ($250,000), price or rate quotations must be obtained from an adequate number of qualified sources. Questioned costs: None. Context: Documentation over price or rate quotations was not maintained for 2 (of 5) testing selections. Cause: Documentation over price or rate quotations was not maintained, which prohibited the auditors from successfully perform testing over these transactions. Effect: Noncompliance with Uniform Guidance procurement requirements. Repeat Finding: N/A. Recommendation: We recommend documentation over price or rate quotations be maintained for all vendors with procurements that could potentially exceed the micro-purchase threshold ($10,000), rather than only those with an original purchase price exceeding $10,000, as the procurement policy is currently written. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
