The Company must verify that the contracted entity is not suspended or debarred or otherwise excluded from participating in the transaction. The verification can be accomplished by: 1. Checking the Excluded Parties List using the SAM.GOV website. 2. Collecting a certification from the entity. 3. Adding a clause or condition to the covered transaction with the entity. If checking of the SAM.GOV website is used, the Company should perform this review timely and any time a contract includes provisions for renewal.

Cause: The Company did not have documented suspension and debarment procedures in place for all vendors. Effect or Potential Effect: The Company may have done business with an entity that was suspended or debarred. Questioned Costs: None Context: During testing of Suspension and Debarment and inquiry with management, it was determined that the Company does not perform the requisite suspension and debarment check on all of their vendors. Identification as a Repeat Finding: N/A Recommendation: We recommend the Company amend the formal policy to be in compliance with debarment and suspension requirements and ensure vendors are properly checked.
