The FAC accepted this audit on June 28, 2023. 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 December 28, 2023 (970 days ago).
What is a management decision? →Finding 2022-001: Suspension/Disbarment Searches Assistance listing number and name: 19.040 ? Public Diplomacy Programs 19.900 - AEECA/ESF PD Programs Year: 2022 Federal agency: U.S. Department of State Criteria: Per 2 CFR section 200.214, non-federal entities are subject to the non-procurement debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Orders 12549 and 12689, 2 CFR part 180, which restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in federal assistance programs or activities. When a non-federal entity enters into a covered transaction with an entity at a lower tier, the non-federal entity must verify that the entity, as defined in 2 CFR section 180.995 and agency adopting regulations, is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. Condition and context: During our audit, we noted that IWPR did not perform timely, the search whether vendors were suspended or debarred, prior to payments. The searches were ultimately performed in 2023 but not during the procurement process in 2022 as required by the internal policy that vetting should be carried out prior to the procurement. This was rectified by performing ?post dated? vetting which confirmed IWPR did not support suspended or debarred parties. Cause: IWRP was aware of the requirement but due to turnover in the staff, this was not performed in timely manner. Effect: Vendors used could have been used for services performed as part of the federal award whilst suspended or disbarred. No vendors used were suspended or disbarred and thus there are no questioned costs. Repeat finding: No. Questioned costs: None noted. Recommendation: We recommend that management reviews periodically, if there is staff turnover, that the searches as part of its initial procurement processes and controls and retain documentation for each vendor. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management acknowledges the finding and has implemented correction actions. See corrective action plan.

Corrective Action Plan Year Ended December 31, 2022 Finding 2022-001: Suspension/Disbarment Searches Management response: IWPR was able to provide vetting which confirmed that monies were not provided to any suspended or debarred parties as required per 2 CFR 200.214. Vetting was undertaken after the fact but prior to the audit in a small sample of transactions within our Central Asia region of operations only, and represented only a very small percentage of overall operations. Nevertheless vetting is a matter which IWPR takes very seriously, alongside wider compliance obligations. IWPR hired a Compliance Manager in November 2021 to work with staff across all programs to ensure IWPR's compliance with all aspects of USG regulations, including all vetting requirements. This included all staff training on IWPR's Vetting Policy and Procedures, which include new vetting software and staff access. Reflecting the critical importance of ensuring IWPRs procurement is compliant, IWPR has undertaken a full review of its Procurement Policy and Procurement Guidelines involving a lengthy, rigorous and collaborative process to update the Policy, which has now been approved by the Board and which will be rolled out in 2023 alongside Guidelines and through mandatory interactive training for all staff. For 2023, all vetting for procurements has been carried out in a timely manner, prior to contracting. A routine internal audit visit has already been scheduled to take place in Central Asia in 2023 to further validate the correct application of all compliance requirements, through training around finance and compliance which will include a refresher on USG rules and regulations, the new Procurement Policy and the Vetting Policy. Furthermore, a mandatory refresher training on the IWPR Vetting Policy and Procedures will be carried out for the entire organization in 2023 and then yearly thereafter.
