Finding Details

Condition: An employee of the Organization was able to access the Organization’s nutrition database and made unauthorized changes to nutrition provider information. As a result of these unauthorized changes, the employee submitted false nutrition claim reimbursements during the periods January 2020 to March 2023 for the employee’s personal benefit. Criteria: According to CACFP Administrative Manual Section 5.1, agencies must submit a claim for reimbursement using the Child Nutrition Information and Payment System (CNIPS) no later than 60 calendar days after the month claimed. Centers must ensure that staffing information, types of meals served, months of service, times of service, and all other information are correct and current DCH sponsors must ensure that all provider applications are complete, correct, and approved for the correct claiming month. Effect: The Organization received nutrition claim reimbursements from false nutrition claim reimbursement submissions. Recommendation: The Organization should implement policies and procedures to tighten controls over authorized access to the Organization’s nutrition database.
