Context Informal policies and procedures are utilized for applicable procurements, but they have not implemented written policies. Cause The District has not received large amounts of federal funding in the past, and, as a result, it was not aware of the requirement. Effect The District may not effectively follow procurement standards. Recommendation We recommend that the District’s written policies be updated to properly reflect all requirements.
