Condition. The District was unable to provide documentation to support its consideration of suspension and debarment requirements for all vendors selected for testing.
Cause. This condition was caused by management's oversight in knowing the federal compliance requirements of the grant, and maintaining appropriate supporting documentation to evidence compliance.
Effect. As a result of this condition, the District was exposed to the risk that disbursements of federal awards would be made to vendors suspended or debarred by the federal government and subject to disallowance by the grantor.
