Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on April 2, 2024. 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 October 2, 2024 (690 days ago).
What is a management decision? →The Organization did not complete the monitoring procedures required by the CACFP eligibility of three visits per year for one of the providers tested. This is a violation of the monitoring requirements under the CACFP. Cause: The Organization did not have a clear understanding of the compliance requirement that the three visits per year had to take place within the fiscal year and adhered to a 12 month cycle for each provider instead of the specified 12 month time frame. Therefore there was also a lack of internal controls to detect if the minimum number of visits had occurred for each provider within the required time frame. Effect: The lack of review of eligibility could result in an ineligible provider receiving reimbursement under the federal award. Questioned Costs: None noted. Context: One provider tested did not receive the required minimum of three visits during the fiscal year. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization implement an addition to the tracking of monitor visits already in place that will identify eligibility compliance for the fiscal year. Views of Responsible Officials: Child Nutrition, Inc. management agrees with Finding 2023-001: Eligibility – Child and Adult Care Food Program – Federal Assistance Listing Number 10.558; Award Period: Year ended September 30, 2023; Pass-through entity name: Virginia Department of Health.

FAC accepted this audit on July 29, 2020 — management decision was due January 29, 2021.
The Organization allowed an individual to enter the Child and Adult Care Food Program as a day care home provider while the individual was on the NDL and therefore not eligible to participate in the program. This is not in compliance with program eligibility requirements. Context: One provider was found to be on the NDL after a notification by Virginia Department of Health. A subsequent search of all current providers by the Organization did not identify any additional providers on the NDL. Cause: The Organization did not have policies and procedures in place to monitor the NDL, and identified the seriously deficient provider through its other monitoring procedures, at which time it appropriately submitted a Notification of Serious Deficiency to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Effect: VDH determined that the provider had been previously terminated from the program and placed on the National Disqualified List, and determined that Child Nutrition, Inc. had been seriously deficient in its operation of the CACFP. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization continue to follow the new policies and procedures for checking the NDL to ensure eligibility requirements are being met. Views of Responsible Officials: The Executive Director, Elizabeth Wittusen, is responsible for addressing the Serious Deficiency and for ensuring the staff of Child Nutrition, Inc. understand and comply with the NDL Policy and for reporting the actions taken to the Board of Directors. The Organization strives to operate with integrity and remain in compliance with the USDA CACFP requirements. The Organization took corrective action, which included implementing new policies and procedures for checking the NDL prior to enrolling new providers in the program. Additionally, the Organization filed amended claims for all provider payments that had been made to the serious deficient provider during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, which amounted to $4,612, and terminated the provider from the program.

CFDA Number 10.558; Award Period: Year ended September 30, 2019; Pass-through entity name: Virginia Department of Health. Criteria: Per 7 CFR ?226.6(b)(2)(ii) a sponsoring organization is prohibited from submitting an application on behalf of a sponsored facility if the facility is on the National Disqualified List (NDL). 7 CFR ?226.6(c)(3)(ii)(B) states that permitting an individual who is on the National Disqualified list to serve in a principal capacity with the institution or, if a sponsoring organization, permitting such an individual to serve as a principal in a sponsored center or as a day care home is a serious deficiency for participating institutions in the CACFP. Condition: The Organization allowed an individual to enter the Child and Adult Care Food Program as a day care home provider while the individual was on the NDL and therefore not eligible to participate in the program. This is not in compliance with program eligibility requirements. Context: One provider was found to be on the NDL after a notification by Virginia Department of Health.

Corrective Action Plan Identifying Number: 2019-001 Eligibility ? Child and Adult Care Food Program ? CFDA Number 10.558; Award Period: Year ended September 30, 2019; Pass-through entity name: Virginia Department of Health Finding: Child Nutrition, Inc. allowed an individual to enter the Child and Adult Care Food Program as a day care home provider while the individual was on the NDL and therefore not eligible to participate in the program. This is not in compliance with program eligibility requirements. Child Nutrition, Inc. identified the seriously deficient provider though its other monitoring procedures, at which time appropriately submitted a Notification of Serious Deficiency to the Virginia Department of Health (VDH). Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: Child Nutrition, Inc. immediately took corrective action, which included implementing new policies and procedures for checking the NDL prior to enrolling new providers in the program. These procedures require both the Executive Director and Program Manager to sign off on each new provider verifying the NDL has been reviewed and there is no match prior to enrolling all new providers. Additionally, Child Nutrition, Inc. filed amended claims for all provider payments that had been made to the serious deficient provider during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2019, which amounted to $4,612, and terminated the provider from the program. Child Nutrition, Inc. took all corrective actions required by VDH to fully and permanently correct the serious deficiency, and will continue to follow the new policies and procedures for checking the NDL prior to allowing providers to enroll in the program to ensure compliance with eligibility requirements. The Executive Director, Elizabeth Wittusen, is responsible for the corrective action.
