USAID's Results Tracking Phase II (SUPPORT II) Program: Audit of Costs Incurred by Checchi and Company Consulting Inc
Abstract
On July 5, 2012, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded a $52,160,960 contract to Checchi and Company Consulting Inc. (CCCI) to support the Results Tracking Phase II(SUPPORT II) program. The programs objectives were to support and strengthen the USAID Mission for Afghanistans monitoring and evaluation systems, strategic communications and public information products, and performance management, and to provide support services, such as facilitating workshops, conferences, and meetings for USAID and its implementing partners. The contracts original period of performance was 12 months with 4option years. However, after 15 modifications, the period of performance was extended to July 4, 2017. The total cost did not change. SIGARs financial audit, performed by Mayer Hoffman McCann (MHM), reviewed $16,215,486 in expenditures charged to the contract from July 1, 2014, through June 30, 2016. The objectives of the audit were to (1) identify and report on significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in CCCIs internal controls related to the contract; (2) identify and report on instances of material noncompliance with the terms of the contract and applicable laws and regulations, including any potential fraud or abuse; (3) determine and report on whether CCCI has taken corrective action on prior findings and recommendations; and (4) express an opinion on the fair presentation of CCCIs Special Purpose Financial Statement. See MHMs report for the precise audit objectives. In contracting with an independent audit firm and drawing from the results of the audit, SIGAR is required by auditing standards to review the audit work performed. Accordingly, SIGAR oversaw the audit and reviewed its results. Our review disclosed no instances where MHM did not comply, in all material respects, with U.S. generally accepted government auditing standards.
