We agree with the auditor’s comments and the following action will be taken to improve this situation. As of September 2024, the Director of Logistics has established a system to ensure the accurate values of USDA foods are receipted into Primarius, Second Harvest’s inventory software system. At the beginning of each year, the Department of Social Services sends our Operations team the USDA Foods valuation chart for the calendar year. This valuation chart lists the food value per pound, net case weight and case value by material code. These material codes are input into our inventory software system and reviewed each month to ensure they match the USDA foods code. In preparing for USDA food deliveries, the Director of Logistics will pre-enter information using the USDA Foods Valuation chart to verify the case values & case net weights match in Primarius. Finally, all USDA food valuations will be reviewed at year-end for accuracy and sent to the State Agency for verification that all monthly receipted quantities and values align between the two systems. This corrective action was implemented as of September 30, 2024.
