During our testing and review of the Organization’s procurement policy, we were unable to obtain documentation to support the inquiries around suspension and disbarment of 2 out of 5 selected vendors.

Corrective Action Plan

We concur with the finding, and a corrective action plan was implemented on March 15, 2026. We have modified our Accounting Policies and Procedures to include reviewing the website for vendors that are debarred from doing business using Federal Funding http://www.sam.gov/. This process will be documented as we obtain the various quotes from vendors over a certain dollar amount threshold. Documentation of such will be maintained in the vendor files. The process will be completed by the Operations Manager and will be reviewed by the CFO and the Executive Director.

Procurement & Suspension/Debarment
SIGNIFICANT DEFICIENCY

During our discussion with management and review of the Organization?s procurement policy, we were unable to obtain documentation to support compliance with the procurement policy and related internal controls. Additionally, documentation was not available to support the inquiries around suspension and debarment. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance and 45 CF Part 75 require that non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards establish and maintain internal controls designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. The characteristics of internal controls are presented in the context of the components of internal controls discussed in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework (COSO Report), published by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The COSO Report provides a framework for organizations to design, implement, and evaluate controls that will facilitate compliance with the requirements of Federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Per 2 CFR 200.318 General procurement stands: (a) The non-Federal entity must use is own documented procurement procedures which reflect applicable State, local, and tribal laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable Federal law and the standards identified in this part. Per Uniform Guidance, Non-Federal entities are prohibited from contracting with or making subawards under covered transactions to parties that are suspended or debarred. ?Covered transactions? include contracts for goods and services awarded under a non-procurement transaction (e.g., grant or cooperative agreement) that are expected to equal or exceed $25,000 or meet certain other criteria as specified in 2 CFR section 180.220. All non-procurement transactions entered into by a pass-through entity (i.e., subawards to subrecipients), irrespective of award amount, are considered covered transactions, unless they are exempt as provided in 2 CFR section 180.215.Cause: The Organization did not follow the procedures in place to document and support its compliance with its written procurement policies or to the related procurement processes under Uniform Guidance guidelines and did not follow the process in place to perform and document the verifications of suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded entities. Effect: The Organization does not have adequate documentation on whether they have entered into transactions with ineligible entities and is not in compliance with Federal guidelines. Recommendation: We recommend the Organization update and follow their controls to identify vendors that should go through the procurement process. We also recommend the Organization follow their process to verify that entities are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded annually at time of award and to document these procedures. The process should apply to procurement and non-procurement awards. Views of Responsible Officials: See schedule of corrective action.

Corrective Action Plan

Finding 2019-001: Compliance and Significant Deficiency over Internal Controls Responsible Official?s Response and Corrective Action Plan We concur with the finding, and a corrective action plan was implemented on November 14, 2019. We have modified our Time and Attendance system to configure the Group Hierarchy to disallow an employee from approving their own timesheet. We also identified that the incorrectly coded expense was an isolated event that will not occur again. Accordingly, we have implemented, effective, November 14, 2019, a review of non-routine expenditures to ensure the coding is appropriate. This review will be performed by the CFO and the Executive Director.
