Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCYOTHER MATTERS

The District did not retain documentation to support that vendors were not suspended or debarred. Criteria or specific requirement: Federal guidelines require grant recipients to perform verification procedures that a vendor is not federally suspended or debarred prior to entering into a covered transaction. Questioned costs: None. The vendor was not federally suspended or debarred. Context: During suspension and debarment testing, one of the three covered transactions we tested did not have support retained that the vendor was not federally suspended or debarred. Effect: Lack of proper documentation of controls over compliance with suspension and debarment requirements could results in paying suspended or debarred vendors. This could ultimately result in questioned costs. After review of vendors, it was noted that no vendors used were on the suspension or debarment list. Cause: Oversight. Repeat finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend the District implement additional procedures to ensure suspension and debarment documentation is retained. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
