Finding Details

2023 – 001 LACK OF WRITTEN POLICY RELATED TO MATCHING REQUIREMENT Criteria: 2 CFR § 200 requires non federal entities to have certain written policies and procedures for managing award funds. Condition: During our testing of the USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program, we found that the Organization did not have a written policy associated with the matching requirement. Cause: Community Food & Agriculture Coalition was unaware of the requirement to have a written policy related to the matching requirement. Effect: The Organization is not in compliance with the federal regulation that requires written policies. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization adopts a written policy related to the matching requirement associated with the USDA Gus Schumacher Nutrition Incentive Program.
