Finding Text

Finding No. 2022-004: Significant Deficiency - Compliance with monitoring and training Condition: During the Texas Department of Agriculture (TDA) audit in January 2022, TDA noted Anita Moreau did not ensure all monitoring forms are accurately and fully completed. Criteria: In compliance with Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) At-Risk Handbook Section 4237 Reviews and Subsection, 4430 Types of Records, and 4440 Required Forms; CACFP Child Care Center Handbook Section 4337 Reviews and Subsections, 4530 Types of Records and 4540 Required Forms; and Adult Daycare Center Handbook 4337 Reviews and Subsections, 4530 Types of Records, and 4540 Required Forms, the sponsor is responsible for the proper monitoring of centers and training the assigned monitors. Cause: During the monitoring of the centers, the monitor did not fully or accurately complete the monitoring forms required. Effect: Failure of the monitor to fully or accurately complete the monitoring forms caused required information to be left unanswered or inaccurately completed. Recommendation: TDA recommends Anita Moreau to provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances around the monitored visits; develop and implement process and procedures to ensure all questions on the monitoring forms are reviewed and answered; and a process to ensure that monitors return reports frequently as the reviews are being conducted.
