AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The District lacks formally documented policies and procedures for cost allowability and procurement, which are required by the Uniform Guidance.
  • Impacted Requirements: Non-compliance with the Uniform Guidance means employees lack essential guidance for managing federal programs.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Develop and document formal policies and procedures to ensure compliance and support staff in managing federal awards effectively.

Finding Text

The Uniform Guidance requires written policies and/or procedures in the areas of allowability of costs and procurement. While the District 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 District 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

Management is formalizing the use of existing written policies that are program specific to cover all district programs.
