Finding Text

2024-002: Significant Deficiency - Procurement Criteria: The County should follow federal compliance requirements by establishing a procurement policy. Condition: The County does not have an established policy for procurement. However, the County still complied with the procurement procedures that are required by the compliance supplement. Cause: Undetermined. Effect: The County does not have a policy to rely on for general expenditures exceeding thresholds. This allows for the possibility of the County engaging in services that may be overpriced due to no policy governing such activities. Repeat Finding: No. Recommendation: We recommend that the County establish a comprehensive policy including procedures that are aligned with requirements in the compliance supplement.
