Finding Text

Finding 2023-002: Failure to Notify Subrecipients of Federal Funding Condition Found: Carle did not communicate required federal program information to subrecipients the Illinois SOR2 program. During our testing of 2 subrecipient awards, we noted the subaward document did not include most of the required elements, including but not limited to: FAIN, ALN number and title, name of the federal awarding agency, UEI, indirect cost rate, Single Audit requirements, and a suspension and debarment clause. Amounts passed through to subrecipients under the SOR2 program totaled $201,863 during the year ended December 31, 2023. Criteria or Requirement: Per 2 CFR 200.332(a), all pass-through entities must ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes the information listed at 2 CFR 200.332 (1) at the time of the subaward and if any of these data elements change, include the changes in subsequent subaward modification. Additionally, 2 CFR 200.303 requires non-Federal entities receiving Federal awards to establish and maintain internal control designed to reasonably ensure compliance with Federal laws, regulations, and program compliance requirements. Effective internal controls should include implementing risk assessment procedures required by Uniform Guidance and ensuring monitoring procedures are performed and documented in accordance with established policies and procedures. Cause: In discussion with Carle management, internal controls were not effectively implemented at the organizational level or cascaded to department leadership. The templates used for subawards was not reflective of the required communications. Possible Asserted Effect: Failure to communicate ALNs at the time of disbursement can hamper the subrecipient’s ability to correctly prepare their schedule of expenditures of federal awards. Repeat Finding: A similar finding was not reported in the prior year audit. Statistical Sampling: The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Recommendation: We recommend Carle evaluate its subaward documents for federal awards and ensure that they include all required elements. Views of Carle management: Management agrees with the finding. Ann Campen had conversations with all the sub-awardees and provided them with the information required. Staff will email the sub-awardees with an “addendum” by the end of calendar year 2024.
