Information on the federal program: Subject: Special Education Cluster (IDEA) – Suspension and Debarment Federal Agency: Department of Education Federal Program: Special Education Cluster Assistance Listing Number: 84.027 Federal Award Numbers and Years (Or Other Identifying Numbers): H027A230084, H027A240084 Pass-Through Entity: Indiana Department of Education Compliance Requirement: Suspension and Debarment Audit Findings: Significant Deficiency Condition: An effective system of internal controls was not in place at the School Corporation to ensure the School Corporation’s compliance with applicable requirements related to the Special Education Cluster (IDEA), specifically with respect to Suspension and Debarment requirements. No instances of noncompliance (entering a contract with a vendor that was suspended or debarred) were identified in the transactions selected for testing. The matter represents a deficiency in internal controls over the Suspension and Debarment process, rather than identified noncompliance with program requirements. Context: Suspension and Debarment As part of its internal control procedures, the School Corporation utilizes the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) to verify the eligibility status of vendors prior to engaging in financial transactions. This verification process is designed to ensure that vendors are not suspended, debarred, or otherwise excluded from participation in federal programs, in accordance with applicable procurement regulations. Two covered transactions that equaled or exceeded $25,000 were identified. Each of the identified transactions were selected for testing, totaling $73,208. The School Corporation did not verify the vendors' suspension and debarment status prior to payment for each of the covered transactions. Views of Responsible Official: We concur with the finding. Description of Corrective Action Plan: Management will enhance controls and review processes surrounding Procurement, Suspension and Debarment under Special Education funds to ensure all compliance requirements of the program are met.
