We agree with auditor's comments, and the following actions have or will be taken to ensure the procurement of goods and services for the nutrition services department follows all applicable steps according to Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR) sections 200.317 -200.327; Title 7, Code of F...
We agree with auditor's comments, and the following actions have or will be taken to ensure the procurement of goods and services for the nutrition services department follows all applicable steps according to Title 2, Code of Federal Regulations (2 CFR) sections 200.317 -200.327; Title 7, Code of Federal Regulations (7 CFR), parts 210 and 220; and all applicable state and local rules: 1. During the school year 2024/2025, changes were made to staff to allow for additional oversight. A Procurement Specialist reporting directly to the Director of Purchasing was added to staff in lieu of a Buyer that had previously reported to the Director of Nutrition Services. This move allowed for an additional step to ensure proper procurement is happening. 2. All purchasing methods, including Micropurchase, Simplified Acquisition, and Formal, will be followed in accordance with all applicable regulations, in line with RUSD's written procurement procedures. 3. Any noncompetitive procurement will only occur if the conditions outlined in applicable regulations are met and sufficient evidence and documentation is received and retained, including participating in performing due diligence to ascertain whether a single source document is accurate from any given vendor. 4. In addition documented annual training will take place for all staff involved in the procurement process. This procedure includes a review and annual update of procurement procedures, if applicable, and an acknowledgement of the nutrition services code of conduct in regards to purchasing. Please reach out to us with any questions.

Finding 2025-001: Procurement Finding: The College's procurement policy does not reflect all applicable state and local laws and federal regulations. For two out of three (67%) small purchase procurements, there was not sufficient evidence to support that documentation of the noncompetitive procurement method selected was provided at the time of purchase. Cause: The College does not have a procurement policy that follows the procurement standards set out at 2 CFR sections 200.318 through 200.327. Corrective Actions Taken or Planned: The Business Office will review all applicable state and local laws and federal regulations and enhance the College’s procurement policy. As part of the review and enhancement, the policy on the website will be updated, and additional training will be held with PI’s currently with grants and those receiving grants in the future. A more robust procurement process will be implemented which will involve multiple departments. By October 31, 2025, the Business Office will communicate with all current PI’s an interim policy including the need for competitive bids, vendor screening, and more detailed descriptions. Contact Person Responsible: Doug MacKay, Controller Lake Forest College Completion Date: January 31, 2026

Finding 2024-002 Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Compliance and Instance of Material Noncompliance Assistance Listing 21.029 Wabash is currently in the process of formalizing its procurement standards and internal controls. While we previously managed contractor selections through established internal practices, we recognize the requirement for a comprehensive written procurement policy that explicitly outlines selection criteria and mandatory debarment verification procedures. To remediate the identified material weakness, Wabash will implement a formal Procurement Policy and Procedure by June 30, 2026. This document will mandate: • Standardized Selection Criteria: Clear guidelines for the evaluation and selection of contractors to ensure transparency and competition. • Debarment Verification: A required protocol for verifying and documenting that contractors are not excluded or debarred via the System for Award Management (SAM). • Oversight: The Network Operations will be responsible for the implementation and ongoing monitoring of these controls to ensure full regulatory compliance. These measures will ensure that all future procurement activities meet federal requirements and organizational standards for financial integrity. Contact person(s): Jason Griffy, Network Operations Manager Justin Gephart, Chief Operating Officer

Information on the federal program: Federal Agency: Department of the Treasury Pass-Through Entity: N/A – Direct Grant Federal Program: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF) Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Compliance Requirement: Procurement – Suspension and Debarment Audit Findings: Material Weakness, Noncompliance Condition: The City did not have internal controls in place to ensure compliance with the procurement and suspension and debarment requirements. The City had not designed or implemented adequate policies or procedures to ensure that proper procurement procedures for small purchase and simplified acquisition procurement thresholds were followed. Context: For one out of three samples selected for the small purchase procurement threshold, three quotes and rationale for selecting the vendor were not documented. Small purchase procurements require three competing quotes and rationale for selection of the vendor. The procurement was for park improvement design services. The City was unaware that professional services are required to follow the federal procurement process. Per grant requirements, all grant funded expenditures require appropriate procurement, regardless of whether it is a good or service. For two out of three samples selected for suspension and debarment testing, the City did not have support that vendors procured under CSLFRF funding were not suspended or debarred. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: The City had already been checking and documenting the check for suspension and disbarment of all vendors – however, the check was being performed at the time of vendor onboarding, which may have been in a previous period. Management agrees with the finding and has already started taking the steps to implement a procedure for checking procurement and suspension and debarment for each contract that expends American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds or any other Federal funds at the time of award. Responsible party and timeline for completion: The Controller is responsible for overseeing the implementation of the corrective action plan and will ensure the appropriate personnel are involved in the procurement and suspension and debarment process. The corrective action plan is in effect immediately. Further, the Controller will conduct an internal audit on or around June 30, 2026, to ensure that the new procedures have been implemented correctly.

Management acknowledges the finding and agrees that strengthening procurement controls is necessary to ensure full compliance with federal requirements. To address this issue, the Parish has implemented a standardized contract for use in federally funded procurements that incorporates all applicable requirements under 2 CFR §200.327 and Appendix II to Part 200. In this specific instance the two contracts noted were state contracts. When state contracts are utilized, the Parish will take the necessary steps to validate that such contracts include all required federal contract provisions prior to utilizing any state contracts. Guidance will also be provided to all procurement personnel involved in contracting to reinforce understanding and consistent application of federal requirements. Management expects these corrective actions to be implemented in the near term and will conduct ongoing monitoring to ensure compliance and effectiveness of the enhanced controls. Interim Finance Director Victor LaRocca, Purchasing Director Renny Simno and Assistant Accounting Director Charles “Joey” Vasquez will ensure that this is enacted immediately and that guidance is provided to procurement personnel by June of 2026.

2024-004 Improve Internal Controls Over Procurement Federal Agency: Department of the Treasury Award Name: Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Assistance Listing Number: 21.027 Award Year: 2024 Compliance Requirement: Procurement Type of Finding Compliance Internal Control over Compliance – Significant Deficiency Criteria: Per 2 CFR 200.318–200.327, non-federal entities must use their own documented procurement procedures which reflect applicable state, local, and tribal laws and regulations, provided that the procurements conform to applicable Federal law and the standards set forth in the Uniform Guidance. For purchases exceeding the micro-purchase threshold, procurement must include documented procedures, full and open competition (unless an exemption applies), and executed contracts. All contracts must be fully executed and amendments provided for any changes to terms or scope. Additionally, any exemption from competitive bidding must be documented, and only applies to the period and scope approved. Suspension and debarment checks must also be performed and documented for covered transactions with vendors. Condition: During our testing of one procurement transaction under the SLFRF program, the Town received an exemption from bidding requirements typically required under Massachusetts’ state law. The exemption was due to an initial emergency procurement; however, expenditures continued to be incurred after the initial emergency ended and the associated contract’s substantial completion date. The Town did not provide contract amendments to extend the contract, nor did it perform additional procurement procedures for expenditures that occurred after the emergency period ended and outside the scope of the exemption. In addition, the contract with the vendor was not countersigned by the Town and therefore a fully executed contract did not exist. Further, suspension and debarment checks for vendors were not retained as required. Cause: The Town did not ensure contracts were fully executed prior to commencement of work, did not maintain documentation or perform procurement for additional expenditures incurred after the completion date of the original contract and outside the scope of the emergency exemption, and did not maintain documentation of required suspension and debarment checks. Effect: Failure to obtain a fully executed contract, perform and document suspension and debarment checks, and appropriately document or procure additional services beyond the contract term increases the risk of noncompliance with federal procurement requirements and may expose the Town to possible unallowable costs, conflicts of interest, or ineligible vendor participation. Recommendation: The Town should implement policies and procedures to ensure all contracts are fully executed prior to work commencement, and any extensions or additional services beyond the original contract are properly documented via contract amendments or appropriate procurement methods in accordance with Uniform Guidance. The Town should also ensure continued monitoring and documentation of procurement exemptions and maintain documentation of all suspension and debarment checks for vendors paid with federal funds. Views of Responsible Official: The Town implemented a purchasing policy to ensure compliance with federal awards required under the uniform guidance. The adopted policy addresses the concerns identified in 2024-004.

AEA agrees with the finding. Management acknowledges that, while the organization followed procurement guidance contained in the Weather Assistance Program Policies and Procedures Manual, it did not formally adopt an organization-wide written procurement and suspension and debarment policy fully compliant with 2 CFR Part 200.317–200.327. AEA will formally adopt a written procurement policy that incorporates all applicable Uniform Guidance requirements, including procurement methods, competition requirements, documentation standards, conflict-of-interest provisions, and procedures for suspension and debarment verification for covered transactions. Management will also implement related procedures and control documentation to support consistent application of the policy across federally funded programs. AEA will provide training to relevant personnel and will maintain documentation evidencing procurement review and suspension/debarment verification, where applicable. Management believes these corrective actions will bring the organization into compliance and reduce the risk of future noncompliance.

Additionally, documentation evidencing verification of vendor suspension and debarment status was not available for the selections reviewed. Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen internal controls over procurement and suspension and debarment compliance by establishing and enforcing written procedures requiring documentation of procurement methods, vendor selection, and verification of suspension and debarment status prior to award.Management should ensure that all required documentation is retained in accordance with federal record retention requirements and subject to supervisory review. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization implemented internal controls over procurement and suspension and debarment compliance. Management will require documented verification of vendor eligibility through appropriate federal and state exclusion checks or signed certification, as applicable, before any procurement is finalized. All procurement-related documentation—including procurement method determinations, vendor selection support, debarment verification evidence, and required certifications—will be subject to supervisory review to ensure completeness and compliance with federal requirements.

U.S. Department of Treasury • Material Weakness in Internal Control over Compliance Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds – Assistance Listing No. 21.027 Condition: During audit testing of financial reporting for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program, the Organization was unable to locate three of ten financial reports requested for review. As a result, auditors were unable to verify the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the reported financial information for those reporting periods. Recommendation: The Organization should strengthen internal controls over financial reporting and record retention by establishing clear procedures to ensure that all required reports are accurately prepared, timely submitted, and retained in accordance with federal requirements. Management should designate responsible personnel and implement monitoring procedures to verify compliance with reporting and documentation standards. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: The Organization will require that all supporting documentation related to financial reporting—including reports, source data, approvals, and correspondence—be retained electronically within Sage Intacct using standardized attachment and naming conventions.
