Finding Text

2022-001 Foster Grandparent Program ? ALN 94.011, Senior Companion Program ? ALN 94.016 Criteria: All recipients must complete AmeriCorps? National Service Criminal History Check (NSCHC) training every year. Each grant recipient must identify at minimum one staff person who has some responsibility for NSCHC compliance to fulfill this requirement on behalf of the grant recipient. The grant recipient must retain the certificate of completion and assign staff to retake the course annually prior to the expiration of the certificate. Grant recipients must save certificates of completion from each year as grant records. Condition: NSCHC training certificate of completion is not retained on file for the staff person responsible for completing the annual training. Cause: CSE did not have adequate policies and procedures to ensure an NSCHC training certificate of completion was retained. Effect: Failure to fulfill the NSCHC training could result in noncompliance for the programs. Questioned Costs: None Context: The one staff member who was responsible for fulfilling the NSCHC training was selected for audit. The test found that the staff member completed the training in-person, but an NSCHC training certificate of completion or other proof of attendance was not retained. Recommendation: CSE should implement policies and procedures to ensure annual NSCHC training certificates of completion are retained. Views of Responsible Officials: Management agrees with the audit finding and a response is included in the corrective action plan.
