Finding 2022-009 Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund Internal Control Procurement, Suspension, and Debarment Condition: The City did not provide evidence of sufficient internal controls over debarment. Criteria: Federal expenditure debarment requirements provide for internal controls to ensure federal funds are not used to pay contractors that are debarred. Cause: The City depended on the City Plumbing Board to require non-debarment before a license was issued. This was not specified in documentation as something that is confirmed. Effect: Debarment may not have been verified. Recommendation: RBT recommends that the City review the internal controls and documentation process for debarment when spending federal funds.
