Special Tests & Provisions

There was a lapse in life insurance for one of the District's loan recipients. The insurance company sent a letter regarding the lapse in coverage but there was no follow up done by the District to verify a continuance in coverage. Cause: This condition is caused by the staff's limited experience with the federal award and improper review of loan recipient annual required loan servicing information. Effect: Improper review of loan recipient annual required loan servicing information could lead to noncompliance with contracts and grant agreements. Questioned Costs: There are no questioned costs related to this finding. Context: This is not a repeat finding and it was an isolated incidence in our testing of compliance with the Economic Adjustment Assistance program. We believe our sample is representative of the total population of all loan funds made under this program. Recommendation: We recommend that the District implement procedures to follow up on information that comes to the District's attention regarding noncompliance with loan agreements and federal programs. We also recommend the District implement review procedures over loan servicing information on all loans annually. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The District agrees with the finding and the recommended procedures will be implemented.
