Because Racker has never received more than $750,000 in federal funding, Racker does not have written policies and procedures for Major Federal Awards. The dedicated HHS funding meant to address the COVID19 pandemic is the sole reason Racker exceeded this threshold in 2021. Racker does not anticipate reaching that threshold again. By the end of 2022, Racker management will adopt written policies, procedures and standards of conduct as required by 2 CFR 200, Subparts D and E. We are confident that the noted expenses are accurately stated for the period.
Condition and Criteria: Two invoices did not have the appropriate level of signoffs from management. Effects: The expenses to major programs could be over or understated for the period. Cause: Procedures in place to ensure that proper signoffs are obtained were not followed. Context: A sample of 37 individual invoices were selected for audit from the applicable population. The test found that 2 invoices from the sample were lacking the necessary signoffs from management. Auditor's Recommendation: The responsible members of management should perform regular reviews of invoices in order to verify the necessary signoffs and approvals have been made. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action: Racker management and its Finance Committee have reviewed the disclosed audit finding. See the attached management response letter submitted by Racker detailing their corrective action plan for the audit year ended December 31, 2021.

We agree that two invoices did not have the appropriate management approvals as required per our internal procedures. There are some reasonable explanations for this oversight. Many of the expenditures occurred early in the pandemic when many staff were required to work offsite and routine administrative procedures were disrupted. In addition, there was an increased sense of urgency to purchase scarce PPE as quickly as possible. These factors contributed to the non-compliance. We agree with your recommendation that management should perform regular reviews and approve expenditures. Our current internal control procedures require regular review and approval by supervisory staff. Racker will reinforce training and continue to adopt technologies that will help ensure greater compliance with our existing policies and procedures. We are confident that the noted expenses are appropriate and accurately stated for the period.
