Significant Deficiency in Internal Control over Compliance
Criteria: 2 CFR 200.303(a) establishes that the auditee must establish and maintain effective internal control over the federal award that provides assurance that the entity is managing the federal award in compliance with federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the federal award. 2 CFR Part 170 establishes requirements for recipients’ reporting of information on subawards as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (FFATA).
