Finding Details

Material weakness in internal controls over procurement and material noncompliance related to procurement compliance requirements. Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Program Title: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Award Number: HCS-23-AR-2113-058 Award Period: 3/21/21 – 12/31/26 Criteria: 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) 200 Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) requires a non-Federal entity that has expended federal awards to have written policies pertaining to its federal grants for procurement and that the history of each procurement is documented in accordance with 2 CFR section 200.318(i). Condition/Context for Evaluation: The Organization received and utilized the federal award to pay for general contractor services for a construction project that was ongoing at the time of the award. The Organization had entered the procurement of general contractor service prior to receiving the federal award and in accordance with its existing procurement policy, which included a competitive procurement process with a price analysis. However, there was not a procurement policy in place that specifically covered the criteria required under the Uniform Guidance. As a result, the Organization did not have a procurement policy and process in place that resulted in compliance with the Uniform Guidance including the maintenance of records to detail the history of the procurement in accordance with 2 CFR 200.318(i). Effect or Potential Effect: As a result of not having adequate written procedures, a procurement was entered into that did not meet the minimum Uniform Guidance procurement standards. Questioned Costs: Not applicable. Repeat Finding: Not applicable. Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization create written policies in accordance with and required by the Uniform Guidance.
