Finding Text

2022-002 Foster Grandparent Program ? ALN 94.011, Senior Companion Program ? ALN 94.016 Criteria: The NSCHC must be conducted, reviewed, and an eligibility determination made by the grant recipient or subrecipient based on the results of the NSCHC no later than the day before a person begins to work or serve on a NSCHC-required grant. The grant recipient must maintain adequate documentation of individual NSCHC grant records to include evidence that all required components (National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW), State(s), and FBI checks) were completed and on file (45 CFR ?2540.206). Condition: CSE did not have completed NSOPW documentation on file for two individuals before they began working or serving on the grant. Cause: CSE did not have adequate policies and procedures to ensure all required components were completed and retained before individuals began working or serving on the grant. Effect: The individuals working or serving on the grant may not have been eligible. Questioned Costs: None Context: A sample of 37 was selected for audit from a population of 58 staff members and volunteers. The test found two instances where there was no documentation of the required NSOPW check. Our sample was a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: We recommend implementing policies and procedures to ensure all required components of NSCHC are completed and retained before individuals begin working or serving on the grant. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the audit finding and a response is included in the corrective action plan.
