Research and Development Assistance Listing No Various Recommendation: We recommend that the University review and update current procedures to ensure subrecipient payments are paid timely. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action planned/taken in response to finding: Management concurs. Departments are entrusted with considerable latitude in determining needs and purchasing products, services, and technical support required to perform educational and outreach duties as well as research with sponsored projects. Because of this, it is reasonable for departments to verify the delivery of these purchases, establish the quality and quantity of the items, and begin the process of paying the corresponding invoices. Delays in the workflow sometimes occur due to valid reasons, and other times are due to a breakdown in the administrative process. Information will be shared with departments regarding delays in invoice processing. This will include sharing the information with academic and research heads in the colleges that processing of invoices must occur quickly, discrepancies affecting the expedient payments will be noted on invoices, and explanations will be recorded. Name(s) of the contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Robert Dixon, Director of Grants and Contracts Financial Administration Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Spring 2023
