Auditor's Recommendation – CRI recommends that the City implement a verification process to check the suspension and debarment status of all vendors prior to contract award. This process should include regular training for procurement staff, the use of a standardized checklist, and periodic audits to ensure compliance. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action – The City of Alamogordo has changed its process when procuring items with federal funds. The Chief Procurement Officer requests a debarment ruling from the Finance Director, who verifies the vendors credentials in the federal SAM system. The CPO will be added to the SAM system to directly verify potential vendors. The City is also in the process of rewriting the procurement ordinance to allow for the lower federal threshold. This new ordinance will be place during Fiscal Year 2025. Responsible Person – Chief Procurement Officer, Finance Director Targeted Date of Completion – Fiscal Year 2025

Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions The Deputy Finance Director and the Finance Department identified the transactions as potentially being incorrectly recorded; however, it was not identified timely and/or officially addressed, and was not detected by the Grants Administrator as being recorded in the incorrect period. The Deputy Finance Director and Finance Department were working diligently to review the accounting and handle various tasks, but were not able to timely address the issue with the specific transactions mentioned above. During June 2023, the City hired a Finance Director which was expected to allow the Deputy Finance Director and staff to improve year-end closing procedures and provide additional support to the Finance Department to ensure controls in place over financial reporting are sufficient. The Grants Administrator will be more involved in communicating with the Finance Department, at a minimum on a monthly basis, as related to reporting of expenditures that are being funded by federal, state, and local awards. Management expects this finding to be fully corrected for fiscal year ended September 30, 2024.
