What is a management decision? →Supporting documentation could not be provided for costs that were charged to the program to support the allowability of costs. Cause: The Organization had a change in upper-level management during the year under audit and the Organization did not have adequate internal controls to ensure that through transitions, documents were maintained in a central and contained location. Effect: Unable to discern whether the cost charged to the Federal program was allowable, as well as if the subsequent federal payment was either proper or improper as a result of insufficient or lack of documentation.

Out of 25 transactions tested for this program, adequate supporting documentation could not be provided for 5 transactions. Recommendation: It is recommended that the Organization implement adequate controls to ensure all disbursements have appropriate supporting documentation and follow a formal authorization policy.
