The Organization is now billing actual costs for supplies as it has done for all other expenditures. Reimbursement request procedures and all accounting functions and segregation practices will be formulated in a written document that will be in place within 120 days of completion of the audit. The Organization accepts and understands that detailed reimbursement policies and procedures should be fully developed and implemented, and actual expenditures should be billed. The Organization believes that the actual cost of supplies allocated to the project exceeded the questioned cost. The Organization will adhere to reimbursement request policies and procedures that will be documented in a written accounting manual. The Organization agrees that the reimbursement request procedures should be performed by employees with properly segregated roles and responsibilities. While the Organization did not have enough staff to segregate all accounting responsibilities, it is continually working to define and monitor segregation policies and procedures and train employees on their duties and responsibilities to ensure that reimbursement requests and all accounting functions are properly separated
