One of 25 USDA product orders tested was not recorded at the correct unit weight within the inventory system leading to overstatement of receipts and distributions of $9,274. Cause: The products per unit weight had not been updated within the inventory system since 2016. Questioned Costs: The results of this noncompliance did not result in any questioned costs. Potential Effect: Failure to maintain records required by 7 CFR section 250.19 is considered prima facie evidence of improper distribution or loss of USDA Foods, and the agency processor or entity is liable for the value of the food or replacement of the food in kind (7 CFR sections 250.16 and 250.19(a)). Recommendation: The Food Bank should review its procedures to ensure inventory items are weighed at least annually and ensure the system is updated for changes to comply with federal grant requirements. Responsible Official’s Response: Management agrees with the finding and the recommendation.
