Identifying Number: 2023-002 Finding: For one out of two subrecipient payments tested, the College did not submit payment within 30 days after receipt of the billing from the subrecipient.

This additional monitoring will help ensure all subrecipient invoices are paid within 30 days of receipt. If the invoice does not meet the College’s criteria including all proper supporting documentation, the invoice will be returned to the subrecipient for corrections.
