Finding Text
Condition: The Organization did not have written policies, procedures and standards of conduct relative to federal awards as required by Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200), Subparts D (Post Federal Award Requirements) and E (Cost Principles). Criteria: Uniform Guidance required nonfederal entities that receive federal awards establish written policies, procedures and standards of conduct. Cause: The Organization lacks written policies, procedures or standards of conduct required by the current federal regulations. Effect: Failure to establish these policies, procedures or standards of conduct puts the Organization in noncompliance with federal regulations and increases the likelihood of fraud, waste and abuse of federal funds. It also may increase the likelihood of findings in subsequent single audits due to lack of adequate internal controls. Auditor?s Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization adopts written policies, procedures and standards of conduct relative to federal awards as required by Uniform Guidance. We have provided sample policies to review and consider. Management Response: The Organization will work with their auditor to develop and adopt written grant procedures that are in accordance with the Uniform Guidance.
