These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Compliance – Per 2 CFR 200.320: Non-Federal entities may establish a threshold higher than the micro-purchase threshold identified in the FAR in accordance with the requirements of this section. The non-Federal entity may self-certify a threshold up to $50,000 on an annual basis and must maintain documentation to be made available to the Federal awarding agency and auditors in accordance with § 200.334. The self-certification must include a justification, clear identification of the threshold, and supporting documentation of any of the following: (A) A qualification as a low-risk auditee, in accordance with the criteria in § 200.520 for the most recent audit; (B) An annual internal institutional risk assessment to identify, mitigate, and manage financial risks; or, (C) For public institutions, a higher threshold consistent with State law. Micro-purchase thresholds higher than $50,000 must be approved by the cognizant agency for indirect costs. The non-federal entity must submit a request with the requirements included in paragraph (a)(1)(iv) of this section. The increased threshold is valid until there is a change in status in which the justification was approved. Condition: MSU established a micro-purchase threshold of $75,000 for contracted services and was not able to provide documentation to support this threshold. Questioned Costs: None. Context: For 3 out of the 7 contracts tested, the dollar amount of the contract was above the Federally established Micro-Threshold of $10,000, and price or rate quotations were not obtained providing for full and open competition. Cause: Mississippi State University’s Procurement and Contracts Manual was updated in August 2022; however, the section addressing federal requirements was not properly addressed. Effect: The institution procured services with a policy not meeting Federal requirements. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the institution review and revise their current procurement policy and review requirements to ensure that their policy is meeting Federal requirements. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.

These internal controls should be in compliance with guidance in “Standards for Internal Control in the Federal Government” issued by the Comptroller General of the United States or the “Internal Control Integrated Framework”, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Compliance – Per 2 CFR 200.320: Non-Federal entities may establish a threshold higher than the micro-purchase threshold identified in the FAR in accordance with the requirements of this section. The non-Federal entity may self-certify a threshold up to $50,000 on an annual basis and must maintain documentation to be made available to the Federal awarding agency and auditors in accordance with § 200.334. The self-certification must include a justification, clear identification of the threshold, and supporting documentation of any of the following: (A) A qualification as a low-risk auditee, in accordance with the criteria in § 200.520 for the most recent audit; (B) An annual internal institutional risk assessment to identify, mitigate, and manage financial risks; or, (C) For public institutions, a higher threshold consistent with State law. Micro-purchase thresholds higher than $50,000 must be approved by the cognizant agency for indirect costs.

The increased threshold is valid until there is a change in status in which the justification was approved. Condition: MSU established a micro-purchase threshold of $75,000 for contracted services and was not able to provide documentation to support this threshold. Questioned Costs: None. Context: For 3 out of the 7 contracts tested, the dollar amount of the contract was above the Federally established Micro-Threshold of $10,000, and price or rate quotations were not obtained providing for full and open competition. Cause: Mississippi State University’s Procurement and Contracts Manual was updated in August 2022; however, the section addressing federal requirements was not properly addressed. Effect: The institution procured services with a policy not meeting Federal requirements. Repeat Finding: No Recommendation: We recommend the institution review and revise their current procurement policy and review requirements to ensure that their policy is meeting Federal requirements. Views of Responsible Officials: There is no disagreement with the audit finding.
