Treasury OIG should follow-up with Selawik's management to confirm the transactions noted as unsupported or ineligible expenditures within the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types are recouped or replaced by other eligible expenditures not previously charged to CRF, that were incurred during the period of performance. Based on Selawik's responsiveness to Treasury OIG's requests and its ability to provide sufficient documentation, Treasury OIG should determine the feasibility of conducting an audit for the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types. Treasury OIG should also follow-up on these issues: 1) Based on the results of Castro's testing over $23,414 out of $857,576 in CRF payroll expenses claimed by Selawik, Treasury OIG should determine the feasibility of following up on the balance of $834,162, as the remaining balance may be similarly unsupported or ineligible since Castro found exceptions related to all payroll transactions tested; 2) Follow-up with Selawik to determine if there were additional costs, separate from those tested by Castro, claimed within the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000, Aggregate Reporting less than $50,000, and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types related to the construction of its "new store", and if so, determine if those amounts should be questioned as well; and 3) Since there were hardship payments misclassified in the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000 payment type that should have been reported in the Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment type identified within the testing, Treasury OIG should follow-up with Selawik to determine if there were additional costs claimed within the Direct Payments greater than or equal to $50,000 and Aggregate Payments to Individuals payment types related to hardship payment claims, and if so, determine if those amounts should be questioned as well.
