Finding Text
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds; ALN 21.027; U.S. Department of Treasury Finding Type: Material Weakness Condition: There were no formal documented federal policies and procedures in place for the year ended September 30, 2025 for Allowability of Costs, Compensation, and Procurement. Criteria: The Uniform Guidance requires a non-federal entity that has expended federal awards for a grant awarded on or after December 26, 2014 to have written policies and pertaining to various areas, including: 1) Allowability of costs charged to federal programs (§200.302 (7)), 2) Procurement (including bidding) and 3) Compensation (§200.430-431). Cause: Documented federal policies and procedures were not created and implemented by Saginaw-Shiawassee Habitat for Humanity. Effect: As a result of this condition, Saginaw-Shiawassee Habitat for Humanity did not fully comply with the Uniform Guidance applicable to all recipients of federal awards. Recommendations: We recommend that Saginaw-Shiawassee Habitat for Humanity prepare required written policies and procedures that are promulgated by 2 CFR 200. Organization’s Response: Saginaw-Shiawassee Habitat for Humanity concurs with the facts of this finding and is putting procedures in place to mitigate the lack of documented written policies and procedures.
