Finding Details

Finding 2022-001
Finding 2022-001 Procurement and Suspension and Debarment AL # 21.027 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Criteria: In accordance with 31 CFR section 19.300, the Township is required to perform procedures to ensure that contractors are neither suspended nor debarred prior to entering into a contract to procure goods and services. This may be accomplished by checking the System for Award Management Exclusions, collecting a certification from the entity, or adding a clause or condition to the contract with the entity. Condition: As a result of our testing, we noted that the Township entered into a contract without performing procedures to ensure that the entity was not suspended or debarred. Cause: The Township does not have adequate procedures in place to ensure compliance with Federal Procurement and Suspension and Debarment compliance requirements. Effect: Adequate internal controls are not in place over Federal Procurement and Suspension and Debarment compliance requirements. Questioned Costs: None. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented to ensure that contractors are neither suspended nor debarred prior to entering into a contract. District?s Response: The Township has updated its procurement procedures to ensure that a provider is neither suspended nor debarred prior to entering into a contract. The Township will ensure that all required components are included within the contract. The Director of Finance will verify that the provider is in good standing by checking the System for Award Management Exclusions.
