Financial Audit of Close-Out of USAID Resources Managed by RACIDA Under USAID Award No. 720BHA21GR00380 for the Period Ended July 26, 2023, and Agreement Number 720BHA23GR00106 for the period 12 May 2023 to December 31, 2023
During our unannounced inspection of U.S Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Denver Contract Detention Facility (Denver) in Aurora, Colorado, we found that Denver’s staff complied with Performance-Based National Detention Standards 2011, revised in December 2016, for recreation, use of force, library, and the voluntary work program. However, facility and ICE staff did not comply with standards related to staff-detainee communication and grievance practices. In addition, ICE did not maintain proper documentation of detainee grievances and a current log of paper requests and grievances, nor did they provide timely and appropriate responses to all requests.
Objective: To report internal control weaknesses, noncompliance issues, and unallowable costs identified in the single audit to SSA for resolution action.
