Pursuant to federal regulations, Uniform Administrative Requirements Section 200.511, the following are the findings as noted in the Ionia County, Michigan (the County), Single Audit report for the year ended December 31, 2025, and corrective actions to be completed. 2025-002 – Procurement, Suspension and Debarment Auditor Description of Condition and Effect. While the County indicated that they have been completing suspension and debarment checks on County vendors in the past, evidence of these suspension and debarment checks was not retained and made available for audit. As a result of this condition, the County was exposed to the risk that disbursements of federal awards would be made to vendors suspended or debarred by the federal government and subject to disallowance by the grantor. Auditor Recommendation. We recommend that the County verify that any of their vendors with $25,000 spent with federal funds were not suspended or debarred and that documentation of these procedures be retained. Corrective Action. The County will review vendors over $25,000 spent with federal funds to ensure that they are not suspended or debarred and retain documented support for the procedures performed. Responsible Person. Chad Shaw, County Administrator Anticipated Completion Date. December 31, 2026
