AI Summary

  • Issue: The Organization did not get required agency signatures when delivering USDA foods in August 2022.
  • Requirements Impacted: This violates Title 7 CFR section 250.19, which mandates record-keeping for donated food distribution.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Ensure all deliveries include agency signatures and review record-keeping practices for compliance with USDA requirements.

Finding Text

On two occasions during August 2022, the Organization failed to obtain an agency signature upon delivery of USDA foods to that agency. Title 7 CFR section 250.19 requires that distributing agencies maintain records to demonstrate compliance with incidents of donated food distribution. Agencies that administer the Emergency Food Assistance Program must keep accurate and complete records with respect to the receipt, distribution/use and inventory of USDA foods.

Corrective Action Plan

Management has identified the incidents where an agency signature was not obtained upon two deliveries of USDA foods to that agency. Management has verified that the deliveries of USDA foods to that agency were legitimate deliveries in accordance the Compliance Requirements for the Emergency Food Assistance Program. Management believes that enhanced training and supervision will improve the application of management's documented controls that require agency signatures be obtained upon delivery of USDA foods to partnering agencies.
