Finding Details

Cause: A School staff accidentally disposed of the supporting documents for one contract and process showing the reasoning for the procurement decision was not formally documented for two contracts. Effect: Lack of proper documentation of procedures and controls related to the procurement could result in improper contracts being paid with federal funds. The School could also possibly award a contract to a vendor that would charge more than other responsible bidders due to not having performed cost analysis. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the School review its procedures to ensure it retains documentation sufficient to detail the history of all procurements in accordance with the Uniform Guidance. We also recommend the School review its procedures over procurement controls to ensure all controls are also sufficiently documented. Views of responsible officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
