Planned Corrective Action:
The Wisconsin Department of Administration (DOA) is committed to accountability and transparency in federal
award administration, as is the objective of Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)
reporting under 2 CFR s. 170. Accordingly, in March 2024, in response to the auditor’s finding and
recommendations, DOA inquired to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for clarification on the
requirements for reporting subaward modifications in the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). OMB’s
response indicated that DOA should “use the total amount after adjusted,” which was DOA’s practice at the
time and thus, was maintained.
In February 2025, DOA became aware of U. S. General Services Administration (GSA) knowledge base article
titled, “Five tips for accurate FFATA* subaward reporting”, published at the Federal Service Desk (fsd.gov). The
article states, “When you modify a subaward, update the original report with the new information. If you
modify the amount, replace the original amount with the new amount.” In response to that guidance, DOA
updated its guidance to state agencies effective March 2025. DOA’s updated guidance also incorporated
changes resulting from GSA’s February 27, 2025, announcement that FSRS.gov would be retired on March 6,
2025, and subaward reporting transitioned to SAM.gov effective March 8, 2025. State agencies were provided
training regarding the updated guidance on March 6, 2025.
