Finding Text
We found that disbursements over $1,500 did not have quotes. The Organization has not complied with its procurement policy, and it is not known whether the Organization has paid a reasonable and competitive rate for the services provided on the various contracts. The
amounts totaled $9,565 for HIV Prevention and $9,434 for the CDC Grant. There was a lack of appropriate internal control policies and procedures implemented at the Organization during the fiscal year to ensure procurement policies and procedures were performed before disbursement of funds occurred. There is also a lack of understanding of minimum requirements to ensure the Organization’s policy meets the standards as noted above. We recommend that management be familiar with procurement policies and ensure they are being adhered to. The Organization agrees with the finding and management will take necessary steps to adhere to the procurement policy.
