Finding Text

Criteria: 2 CFR 180 requires the non-federal entity to verify that the person or vendor with whom the non-federal entity intends to do business through a covered transaction is not excluded or disqualified. Condition and Context: During testing of PHAB’s controls on compliance over procurement and suspension and debarment, we identified PHAB did not have all the needed documentation suspension and debarment checks. Cause: Controls and processes were not effectively designed to ensure there was all proper documentation around the suspension and debarment checks. Effect: PHAB was not fully in compliance with the suspension and debarment check requirements of the Uniform Guidance. Questioned Costs: None. Identification of a repeat finding: N/A. Recommendation: We recommend that PHAB review its current processes and controls over procurement and suspension and debarment to ensure all required documentation is retained and available. Views of Responsible Official: Management agrees with the finding. See Corrective Action Plan.
