Finding 2024-002 - Subrecipient Monitoring Federal Agency: Department of Treasury Program: COVID-19 - Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds - ALN #21.027 Condition: As part of the monitoring process, the County did not obtain and review the annual audit reports of subrecipients. Planned Corrective Action: Upon notification of this issue during the 2024 Single Audit, the County immediately took action to implement corrective actions to be compliant with this with this requirement. The County modified the subrecipient quarterly report template for Q3 2025 to include a question requiring all subrecipients to verify if they were audited as required by subpart F of 200.332. The County then conducted the required follow up to obtain and review each audit to identify any significant developments that might negatively impact the subaward. Of the 27 subrecipient audits reviewed, only one had a finding related to 21.027 regarding keeping records of their reporting to the County and hiring a full-time finance director. The County followed up with the subrecipient to confirm that they have put their corrective action into place and the subrecipient responded that this was complete. Additionally, there were four subrecipients who reported that they were required to have an audit, but it wasn't completed yet. The County is in the process of conducting follow-up with these organizations to remind them of their responsibilities under 200.332 and to obtain and review the required audits. The County will conduct subrecipient monitoring of ARPA subrecipients each year throughout the remainder of the program. Additionally, the Controllers department will provide Subrecipient Monitoring training and information in 2026 to County departments who administer subrecipient funding in order to assist them in fully complying with this requirement Name(s) of contact person(s) responsible for corrective action: Fonta Reilly and Eli Gilman Planned completion date for corrective action plan: Corrective action implemented in November 2025
