What is a management decision? →The District did not solicit bids on the purchase of food supplies at a cost of $64,432, as required by Ark. Code Ann. ? 6-21-304. Cause: Lack of internal controls and management oversight over the procurement of supplies and services. Effect or potential effect: The District expended Child Nutrition program funds of $64,432 without soliciting bids as required by state law for purchases with an estimated purchase price equal to or exceeding $20,500. Context: An examination of non-payroll expenditures for 15 checks totaling $76,356 from a population of 147 checks totaling $624,226. Of the 15 checks examined, one check required solicitation of bids. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: The District should implement controls and monitor child nutrition purchases for compliance with applicable procurement requirements. Views of responsible officials: This took place as a result of a the Food Service Director leaving in May 2018, leaving a new one to be hired. The District has already implemented a system of internal controls for monitor that food bids are taken, as required by Ark. Code Ann. The new Food Service Director has since gone to training and knows the proper procedures; therefore resulting in bids being taken for FY 19/20.
