What is a management decision? →During our testing, we noted AWF did not register all the original and subsequent first tier subawards of $30,000 or more in FSRS. Questioned costs: None Context: FFATA reporting was not submitted in FSRS. Cause: During the fiscal year under audit, AWF believed that the subrecipients were exempt from FFATA reporting requirements. Effect: The non-submission of FFATA reports resulted in non-compliance with federal reporting requirements, potentially affecting the transparency and accountability of federal funds. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend AWF design controls to ensure all first tier awards in excess of $30,000 are accurately and timely registered with the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System. In addition, AWF should ensure that any subawards are reported within the required time frame. The list of data elements required to be reported for each subaward in excess of $30,000 include the following: -Subaward date -Subaward UEI number -Subaward amount -Subaward obligation/action date -Subaward number -Subaward report submission date Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

FAC accepted this audit on December 13, 2023 — management decision was due June 13, 2024.
For one sample for award FAA-7200AA20FA0032, we noted that there was no evidence showing that the suspension and debarment verification occurred before the transaction with the vendor was initiated, although evidence suggested that it had been completed thereafter, and the vendor was not suspended or debarred. Questioned costs: None Context: This is a condition based on testing of AWF's compliance with specified requirements. The prevalence of the finding is detailed in the condition section above. Cause: AWF personnel did not retain proper documentation to ensure proper suspension and debarment validations were performed. Effect: Failure to perform procurement procedures in accordance with AWF's documented policies and procurement procedures outlined in the Uniform Administrative Requirements could result in the procurement being disallowed. Failure to verify that a vendor is not suspended or debarred could result in transactions involving unreasonable costs or result in unintentionally entering into a contract with an entity that is barred from performing work for the federal government. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend management to ensure retention of evidence to include dates of when suspension and debarment verifications are performed. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

Non-federal entities must either check for exclusions in the System for Award Management (SAM); collect certification from the entity, or add a clause or condition to the covered transaction with the entity prior to entering into a covered transaction. In addition, in accordance with §180.415(b), non-federal entities cannot renew or extend covered transactions (other than no-cost time extension) with any excluded person, or under which an excluded person is a principal unless the nonfederal entity obtains an exception under §180.135.

U.S. Agency for International Development 2023-001 Collaboration for African Biodiversity (ABCG III) – Assistance Listing no. 98.001 Recommendation: Management should ensure retention of evidence to include dates of when suspension and debarment verifications are performed. Views of responsible officials: AWF management agrees with the finding and recommendation set forth and has developed a corrective action plan. The procurement and contracts manager is now ensuring that AWF captures the date when taking a screenshot from the OFCCP Debarred Companies list when conducting background checks on vendors so as to document that the search has been performed prior to entering into a contract with the vendor.
