2022-003 ? Meal Counts Federal Program: Assistance listing number 10.558, Child and Adult Care Food Program ? United States Department of Agriculture Compliance Requirement: Eligibility Criteria: A properly designed system of internal control over compliance with the requirements of federal programs allows entities to meet those requirements set forth by the federal government. Under the Child and Adult Care Food Program, the Organization is required to monitor eligibility of meals being reimbursed to providers. Condition: 1 of the 40 providers tested for meal counts had discrepancies. One provider's reimbursement improperly included 2 additional breakfast meal counts. Cause: The Organization noted a deduction of a breakfast count should have been made, however rather than deducting another breakfast count was added resulting in 2 additional breakfast meal counts. Questioned Costs: The results of this noncompliance did not result in any questions costs. Potential Effect: As a result of this condition, there is a higher risk that the provider meal counts are inaccurately reimbursed. Recommendation: The Organization should review its policies and procedures to ensure all provider meals charged to federal grants are properly reflected in the reimbursement request. Responsible Official's Response: Management agrees with the finding and recommendation.
