Child and Adult Care Food Program - Assistance Listing No. 10.558 Recommendation Auditor recommends the Organization retain clear documentation of meal count sheets, including labeling of the particular month they relate to. We also recommend the Organization reconcile the meal count sheets with the clicker reports, and retain specific documentation as to the variances. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding The Child and Adult Care Food Program was created as an emergency response during the COVID-19 pandemic. In such an emergent situation, management believes the federal government acted in good faith to meet the needs of the country by contracting with regional sponsoring organizations. New Vision Foundation was selected by the sponsoring organization to be a community-based food provider to culturally-specific populations. All activities related to the program were expressly approved by the sponsoring organization. The finding of material noncompliance is overstated. Management followed all guidelines and fulfilled all obligations outlined by Feeding Our Future. Documentation of meal count sheets and clicker reports were accepted and approved by the sponsoring organization. Additional documentation was not requested nor were any changes to management’s practices. Action taken in response to finding The program noted was discontinued at the end of 2021.
