Finding 2025-003 AL number: 10.561 AL title: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Federal award or contract: FFY 2026 SNAP Employment and Training Contract No. 26 IHGA 202955 Questioned costs: None Torch Technology Solutions, a subsidiary of CrossPurpose, and charged amounts to the FFY 2026 SNAP Employment and Training Program for compliance and reporting, finance and cost allocation, program delivery, technology infrastructure, and participant-support functions. The Organization did not retain sufficient documentation to demonstrate that the amounts billed represented actual costs incurred during the applicable periods, were necessary and reasonable for the federal award, were directly attributable to program administration or participant services, or were allocated using a reasonable and documented methodology. Torch Technology Solutions also lacked sufficient documentation for certain subcontractor and service-provider expenditures. Available records did not adequately demonstrate the services provided, when they were performed, the benefit to the federal program, or the allocation methodology. Certain gift card payments also lacked documentation showing participant need, redemption, and allowable program-related use. The Colorado Department of Human Services identified similar concerns in its fiscal management evaluation. Management recorded a liability for the repayment obligation, reversed the related program revenue, and excluded the associated costs from the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. The Organization subsequently terminated its Employment First Program contract with Torch Technology Solutions, terminated the staff, and ceased operations. The Organization returned $283,425 requested in connection with the State's findings. Corrective Action Plan Management agrees with the finding. CrossPurpose has developed a process to review any future reimbursement requests submitted by subsidiaries and require supporting documentation showing that the costs are allocable, reasonable, necessary, and connected to benefits provided to eligible participants. For Torch Technology Solutions, all employees were terminated effective May 15, 2026, and the Organization terminated the subsidiary's contract with the Department. The Organization fulfilled the Department's requests arising from the fiscal management evaluation, returned $283,425, and ceased all operations of the subsidiary.The closure of Torch Technology Solutions is disclosed as a subsequent event in the notes to the financial statements. As of now, there are no existing grant awards held by subsidiaries. Anticipated completion date: May 15, 2026
