Condition: Employees of the Organization did not receive the proper eligibility training under the Organization's policy. Questioned Costs: None Context: A sample of 2 employees was tested out of a total population of 11 employees. The sampling methodology is not and is not intended to be statistically valid. One employee did not receive the required program training. Effect: Incorrect classification of eligibility for meals served could be assigned to an individual. Cause: The Organization's internal controls were not adequate to ensure employees received the proper program training. Identification as a Repeat Finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend implementing policies and procedures to ensure employees receive the proper program training to determine proper eligibility. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: Management concurs with findings and plans to implement the recommendations above. Starting in July 2023, the SADCCF Training Department will schedule Mandatory New hire and Refresher Trainings and document completion with a certificate, sign in sheet and agenda detailing the material covered during the training. The Training Department along with HR will also add USDA as a required training in the training database for each employee working for SADCCF's children and adult programs. This will enable HR to print a list by employee of needed trainings and this list will be reviewed quarterly to make sure all employees required to have the USDA training have received it.
