Through audit procedures performed, we noted that the Voluntary Action Center does not have procedures for verifying that an entity with which it plans to enter into a covered transaction is not debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded. Additionally, the contract for one of the two items tested was unable to be located. Questioned Costs: None Context: During our testing, we noted a formal policy was not in place over suspension and debarment. We also noted that the Voluntary Action Center did not determine or verify whether two vendors in which a contract was entered into was not suspended or debarred prior to entering into the contract. The contract for one of the two items tested was unable to be located. Cause: Policies and procedures had not been put into place to verify whether the Voluntary Action Center is entering into covered transactions with entities that are not suspended or debarred, and the contract was not maintained for one of the two items tested. Effect: Possible receipt of federal funds or assistance by an ineligible contractor, and proper documentation to support the transaction was not maintained. Repeat Finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that current policies and procedures over covered transactions be updated to include one of the following procedures related to suspension and debarment: - Searching for the person or entity within the Excluded Parties List System; - Collecting certification from the person or entity; or - Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with that person or entity Additionally, all contracts should be maintained and kept on file to ensure records are complete.
