Finding Details

Federal Agency: U.S. Department of Treasury Federal Program Name: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (SLFRF) Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Federal Award Identification Number: Not available Pass-Through Agency: Massachusetts Department of Revenue Pass-Through Number(s): Unknown Award Period: July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025 Compliance Requirement: Suspension and Debarment Type of Finding: Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance and Other Matters Criteria or specific requirement: The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 2 Part 200.214 states that nonfederal entities are subject to the nonprocurement debarment and suspension regulations implementing Executive Orders 12549 and 12689, 2 CFR part 180. These regulations restrict awards, subawards, and contracts with certain parties that are debarred, suspended, or otherwise excluded from or ineligible for participation in Federal assistance programs or activities. Condition and Context: For each of the five (5) transactions tested, the Town did not have a documented verification that the vendor was not suspended or debarred. Questioned Costs: None. Cause: Procedures were not in place to document the verification that vendors were not suspended or debarred from participation in federal programs or activities. Effect: Lack of verification (or untimely verification) of vendors’ suspension or debarment status could cause federal grant funds to be expended to vendors that are excluded from participation in federal assistance programs or activities. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend procedures be implemented to ensure that the verification of vendors’ suspension and debarment status is documented prior to executing transactions. Views of responsible officials and planned corrective actions: Management agrees with the finding.
