Finding Details

Finding 2024-001
Federal Program: Continuum of Care Program, Assistance Listing 14.267 Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Compliance Requirement: Procurement and Suspension and Debarment Type of Finding: Noncompliance Reference Number: 2024-001 Criteria: Non-federal entities must not award federal funds to parties listed on the SAM.gov exclusions list. Statement of Condition: During our testing of the Organization’s procurement processes for federally funded contracts, we noted that the Organization did not verify whether vendors were suspended or debarred during the year. Statement of Cause: The Organization did not have formal procedures in place to ensure vendors were checked against the SAM.gov exclusions list. Statement of Effect: There is a risk that federal funds could be disbursed to a vendor that is ineligible due to suspension or debarment, potentially resulting in questioned costs. Questioned Costs: None noted, as the vendors tested were not suspended or debarred, despite the lack of verification. Perspective Information: The finding was at Catholic Charities of Chenango County. The federal expenditures for Catholic Charities of Chenango County were $165,793 of the total $4,932,497 reported in the Schedule of Federal Awards. Recommendation: We recommend that the entity implement controls to ensure all vendors are verified through SAM.gov or equivalent procedures before payment. Views of Responsible Officials: Management concurs with the finding and has implemented procedures to document vendor eligibility verification via SAM.gov.
