I am pleased to report that Office of Inspecttor\nGeneral auditors found no significant weaknesses relating to the Gift Fund. However,\nour auditors did identify certain areas of noncompliance with Corporation polices gnd\nprocedures that warrant corrective action.\n\nExecutive Summary\n\nThe Gift Fund is part of the Corporation\'s Fund Balance with the Department of the\nTreasury, and includes donations received from individuals and organizations to hrtber\nnational service. The objectives of the audit were to: (1) determine if the Gift ~ u n dis\nfairly presented on the Corporation\'s financial statements; (2) determine if the\nCorporation\'s policies are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and [3)\ndetermine if employees are complying with Corporation policies and procedures. In bur\nopinion, the Gift Fund is fairly presented on the Corporation\'s financial statements For\nfiscal years 2000 through 2003. We also found that Corporation policies and procedutes\ncomply with applicable laws and regulations. However, certain tests disclosed instan~es\nof noncompliance with Corporation policies and procedures for which we +re\nrecommending corrective action.\n\nAfter the Office of Inspector General notified the Corporation of this audit, and reques ed\ndocuments, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) performed an audit of Gift Fund recei ts\nand expenditures for fiscal years 2000 through 2003. We agree with all thq\'ee\n k\nrecommendations made in that review.\' The Corporation\'s Gift Fund policies @d\noperating procedures are being revised to reflect these recommendations.\n\n h he CFO recommended that Gift Fund procedures be revised to: ( 1 ) require gift acceptance officials to\nannotate checks received with their official acceptance prior to transmittal to accounting for deposit;\n(2) require all donations to be entered into the CEO controlled correspondence upon receipt to ensure tha\nacceptance letters are sent in a timely manner; and (3) reflect changes in operations since the\nimplementation of Momentum and establishment of Executive Officers.\n\x0cAudit of the Corporation for National and Community Service\'s Gift Fund\nAudit Report 04- 1 3\nPage 2\n\nBackground\n\nUnder its authorizing legislation, the Corporation can accept and use money or prog :rty\ndonated to it in furtherance of the purposes of the national service laws (42 U.S.1 1. 9\n1265 1g(a)(2)(A)). The legislation also requires the Corporation to report to Congres on\nthe nature and amount of donations received, and how the Corporation used or dispc sed\nof such donations (42 U.S.C. 5 12651d(b)(9)). The Corporation uses separate ger :ral\nledger accounts to record gifts and related expenditures and to report on Gift E md\nactivity.\n\nGift Fund monies are expended by employees with purchase cards; the Corporati n\' s\nOffice of Grants Management and its Service Centers through the issuance of grants;\nthe Office of Procurement Services (OPS) through contracts for the acquisition of\nand services. The schedule below specifies Gift Fund donations and\nfiscal years 2000 through 2003.\n\n\n Gift Fund Donations and Expenditures Audited\n Fiscal Years 2000 - 2003\n\n\n Beginning Balance: Oct. 1, 1999 $ 87,274\n\n Donations - Fiscal Years 2000-2003 1,842,519\n\n Expenditures - Fiscal Years 2000-2003 (1,275,824)\n\n Ending Balance: Sept. 30,2003 !J 653.969\n\n\n\n\nObjectives, Scope, and Methodology\n\nThe objectives of this audit were to: (1) determine if the Gift Fund is fairly\nthe Corporation\'s financial statements for fiscal years 2000 through 2003;\nif the Corporation\'s policies are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations;\n(3) determine if employees are complying with Corporation policies and procedures.\nOIG reviewed the Corporation\'s Gift Fund policies and procedures to\nwith laws and regulations. The OIG also reviewed Gift Fund\nCorporation compliance with its policies and procedures. We tested\nGift Fund operating procedures, including: Authorization,\nAcceptanceIRejection of Donation, Receipt of Donation,\nthe General Ledger.\n\x0cAudit of the Corporation for National and Community Service\'s Gift Fund\nAudit Report 04- 13\nPage 3\n\nAuthorization, OHer of Donation, Acceptance/Rejection of Donation, and Receip\nDonation\n\nIn determining whether gifts were solicited and accepted in accordance with\npolicy, we reviewed $1,275,000, or 69 percent, of the donations received in\n2000 through 2003. We tested to ensure that:\n\n (I) Only the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or his designee(s) solicited, acce$ed\n or rejected, and expended donations; ,\n (2) CEO delegations of authority to solicit, accept or reject, and exp~nd\n donations were in writing, and remained in effect for a period not to excieed\n one year, or until modified in writing by the CEO;\n (3) Such delegations were specific to the person and position served;\n (4) Offers of donations included a description and estimated value of the\n donation, and any specific purpose for, or condition on, the use of the\n donation;\n (5) The Corporation accepted the donations for the purpose of furthering the\n mission and goals of the Corporation;\n (6) The Corporation responded to each offer in writing, and the response ldter\n was signed by an accepting official; and\n (7) Donations were valued and recorded in the general ledger upon receipt.\n\nGift Fund Expenditures\n\nTo assess the Corporation\'s compliance with its expenditure policies, applicable 1 s,\nand regulations, we reviewed $1,161,842, or 91 of the expenditures mad in\nfiscal years 2000 through 2003. Once funds are committed by an authorized official, t ey\ncan be used by OPS or employees authorized to use government purchase cards to m@e\npurchases. These funds can also be used by the Corporation and its Service Center$ to\n H\nissue grants, or to pay for other activities such as training for the Martin Luther King o a y\nof Service. We reviewed 86 transactions and expenditures, or 26 percent, of $31\ntransactions from fiscal years 2000 through 2003, as follows:\n Breakdown of Transactions Breakdown by Amount Reviewed\n Reviewed (Ddlonr in tAoaswan&)\n\n\n\n\n B!

Only 9 percent of Gift Fund monies expended during the\nperiod were not audited, and this percentage consists of many small dollar transactions.\n\x0cAudit of the Corporation for National and Community Service\'s Gift Fund\nAudit Report 04- 13\nPage 4\n\nWe performed our audit in accordance with generally accepted Government Audit ng\nStandards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. 1\nAn exit conference was held with Corporation management on June 18,2004. The iss\npresented in this report were discussed. The Corporation concurred with all of\nrecommendations in its response to the drafi report.\n\nResults ~\n I\n\n\n\n\nIn our opinion, the Gift Fund account balance is fairly\nfinancial statements. The Corporation\'s policies comply with laws and\nHowever, the results of our tests of compliance disclosed instances of\nwith Corporation policies and procedures for which we are\naction.\n\n1. Some users who are allowed access to the Corporation\'s Moment\naccounting system to approve the expenditure of Gift Funds have not been\nsuch authority, as required by CFO policy.\n\nAccording to the CFO policy for acceptance and use of Gift Funds, the CEO of dhe\nCorporation has the authority to solicit, accept or reject, and expend a donation. dhe\nCEO may delegate these authorities to other officials of the Corporation, but further\ndelegations by those officials are not permitted. All delegations of authority must be\nmade in writing, reviewed by the Office of General Counsel, and retained in the Office of\nthe CFO. Delegations are effective for a period not to exceed one year and must be\nconfirmed annually and in writing by the CEO.\n\nW e compared the list of employees with Momentum user rights to the list of employqes\nto whom the CEO has delegated authority. Three employees can currently authodze\nexpenditures in Momentum, but have not been delegated the authority by the CEO to\nmake Gift Fund expenditures. To ensure compliance with the CFO policy, we\nrecommend updating access procedures for Momentum to limit Gift Fund approqal\naccess to only those officials to whom the CEO has delegated the authority to expeod\nGift Fund donations. Alternatively, we recommend that the CEO delegate authority to\nexpend Gift Fund donations to the three individuals who can currently authorize G\'ft\nFund expenditures in Momentum: the Deputy CFO for Financial Management, t e\nBudget and Trust Operations Executive Officer, and the Budget and Trust Operatiobs\nAdministrative Specialist.\n e\n I\n\n\n2. Acceptance letters were not available.\n\nWe reviewed 12 donations and noted that four acceptance letters were not available. P/er\n\n\n i\nCFO Policy 1029, Gifi Fund Operating Procedures, Acceptance of Offer, "[wlhen n\noffer is accepted, the accepting official . . . must forward all relevant documents (t e\noffer, recommendation transmittal, and acceptance letter) to the Accounting Departm t\nfor informational purposes only. No financial or accounting activity will take place uniil\nthe donation is actually received. "\n\x0cAudit of the Corporation for National and Community Service\'s Gift Fund\nAudit Report 04- 13\nPage 5\n\n\n\nCorporation policy requires that acceptance letters include the following information:\n\n (1) An acknowledgment of receipt of the offer;\n (2) A brief description of the offer and any purpose or condition that the off ror\n specified for the use of donation;\n (3) A statement either accepting or rejecting the donation; and\n (4) A statement informing the donor that any acceptance of services or proF :rty\n cannot be used in any manner, directly or indirectly, that endorses the don( -\'s\n products or services or appears to benefit the financial interests or busi ess\n goals of the donor, and that final valuation for the Corporation\'s accoun ing\n purposes will be made by the CFO.\n\nWe recommend that the Corporation respond to each offer in writing, in accordance qith\nCFO Policy 1029, Section (III)(A). The CFO\'s audit also noted instances wh/ere\nacceptance letters were not sent as required or were not sent in a timely manner. The\nCFO recommended revising Gift Fund procedures to require that all donations be entefed\ninto the CEO-controlled correspondence3 upon receipt to ensure that acceptance letders\nare sent in a timely manner.\n\n3. The Corporation did not comply with expenditure policies in some instances.\n\nWe reviewed 86 Gift Fund transactions and noted the following instances of\nnoncompliance with Gift Fund expenditure policies:\n\n a. We found one instance where an employee in the CFO Budget Office approved\n an obligation for an expenditure related to USA Freedom Corps, and the Deppty\n CFO for Financial Management authorized the actual payment. However, neither\n of these individuals has been authorized by the CEO to approve the expendi@re\n of Gift Funds. CFO Policy 1029, Gift Fund Operating Procedures, Section\n (III)(E)(l), stipulates that "[tlhe use of donations must be authorized by: a\n Corporation employee with the delegated authority to expend such funds."\n During a discussion of this audit\'s findings, the Deputy CFO for Finanqial\n Management commented that since an authorized official approved the\n expenditure by signing it,4 processing it into Momentum by non-delegated\n individuals is not a problem. As a result, Gift Fund expenditures can b e\n authorized and made by employees without authority to do so. The Corporation\n has not complied with Policy 1029, Section (III)(E)(l), and we recommend that\n the Corporation comply with this policy.\n\n b. We found one instance where an expenditure to support the National Dirpct\n Conference in San Diego, California, on February 11-14, 2002, was income\n charged to an account restricted to the Martin Luther King Day of\n\n CEO-controlled correspondence refers to those letters received by the CEO\'s office that require an\nimmediate and thorough response.\n4\n This expenditure involved a July 2002 memorandum of agreement, which was not approved by an\nauthorized expending official until March 12. 2004.\n\x0cAudit of the Corporation for National and Community Service\'s Gift Fund\nAudit Report 04- 13\nPage 6\n\n initiatives. Section (III)(E)(2) of CFO Policy 1029 requires that Gifi\n expenditures comply with the Corporation\'s policy for acceptance and use\n Funds, which states, \'\'[all1 donations will be used to further the mission\n of the Corporation. Restricted donations will be used as nearly as\n accordance with the terms of the donation." In this instance, the\n not expend Gifi Funds according to the terms of the donation.\n the Corporation comply with Policy 1029, Section\n transaction by removing the expenditure from the account\n Luther King Day of Service initiatives, and recording it in\n the miscellaneous unrestricted account).\n\n c. We attempted to verify compliance with Martin Luther King Day of ~ e d i c e\n (MLK) grant terms and conditions, which require the grantee to submit a fibal\n Project Progress Report within 90 days after the end of the grant period. We did\n not receive requested copies of progress reports for our sample of 18 grants isslped\n to support MLK initiatives for 2000 and 2001. Office of Management and Budbet\n circulars and Corporation grant provisions require the grantee to submit to the\n Corporation timely progress and financial reports at the conclusion of the projlect\n period. Without Project Progress Reports, we cannot verify that grantees we\n complying with grant requirements. The Public Affairs staff, which may pot\n typically oversee and monitor grantee activity, has been responsible for\n monitoring MLK grants. We recommend that personnel who have programmgtic\n oversight and monitoring responsibility receive appropriate training in monitodng\n grantee activity to ensure that grantees are complying with the terms of their grbnt\n agreements.\n\n4. Additional Recommendation\n\nBased on our review, it appears that when Gift Funds are used, OPS follows procurement\nprocedures that are consistent with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and\nCorporation Policy Number 350, Procuring Supplies and Services, dated June 26, 2001.\nThe FAR applies to appropriated funds but does not apply to nonappropriated funds. ?he\nCounsel to the Office of Inspector General believes that Gift Fund donations\nappropriated fimds, and FAR procedures should apply to Gift Fund procurements\nthe provisions of the National and Community Service Trust Act, as well as\nComptroller General decisions. The Corporation\'s General Counsel does not concur\nthis opinion. Nonetheless, according to the General Counsel it is the\npolicy to follow procurement procedures that are consistent with the\nprocuring any goods or services, notwithstanding the status of the funds.\n\nWe recommend the Corporation change the Corporation\'s Acceptance and Use of Gift\nFund policies and procedures to require adherence to the FAR when procuring goods r/nd\nservices.
