The formal process for completing and retaining Subrecipient Agreements is now operational to ensure compliance with programmatic obligations. As the recipient, it is the territory's responsibility to notify the Subrecipient when the federal funds are obligated and provide them with a subrecipient agreement which outlines the terms and conditions of the program. The Disaster Program Financial Specialist is responsible for obtaining the subrecipient agreement and ensure it has been signed by the Applicant/Subrecipient and Governor's Authorized Rep and later provided to the Territorial Public Assistance Officer (TPAO). As such, no funds will be disbursed until the Subrecipient signs and returns the agreement. These agreements are saved in a centralized location for documentation and audit purposes. In accordance with the 2CFR #200 Subpart F, all Subrecipients must comply with applicable audit requirements because the applicant is in the receipt of federal funding. Under 2CFR #200.500 Subpart F applies to any non-federal entity that expends $750,000 or more in federal awards during a fiscal year. Subrecipients meeting this threshold are required to undergo a single audit or a program specific audit for that fiscal year. The TPAO will review audit requirements during the applicant's briefing and will incorporate these requirements into the Subrecipient Agreement.
