AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The Authority lacks formally documented policies for cost allowability and procurement, which is required by the Uniform Guidance.
  • Impacted Requirements: Non-compliance with the Uniform Guidance affects the management of federal award programs.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Develop and document formal policies and procedures to ensure compliance and support employees in managing federal programs.

Finding Text

The Uniform Guidance requires written policies and/or procedures in the areas of allowability of costs and procurement. While the Authority has informal policies and procedures surrounding the administration of its federal programs, these policies and procedures have not been formally documented to ensure compliance with the areas of allowability of costs and procurement as required under the Uniform Guidance. The Authority is not in compliance with certain requirements of the Uniform Guidance and as such, employees do not currently have the benefit of these written policies and/or procedures to assist in managing and directing its federal award programs.

Corrective Action Plan

The staff will collaborate with the Manager to prepare the necessary written policies and procedures.
