Finding Details

Condition: The Organization's files did not consistently contain all of the required documentation, including documentation determining eligibility.

Cause: Due to a lack of staff and number of transactions, the Organization found it difficult to ensure all required documentation was retained in the files. Effect: The Organization's files did not contain all necessary information required. Recommendation: The Organization should uniformly complete checklists of the items to identify required documents have been included in consumer files. They should also organize their files uniformly among the staff in charge of these files to ensure items are properly included.
