Finding Text
Criteria or specific requirement – Prime grant recipients awarded a federal contract greater than or equal to $30,000 are subject to Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) subaward reporting requirements. The prime awardee is required to file a FFATA subaward report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime contractor awards any subcontract greater than or equal to $30,000.
Condition and Context – CSS awarded dollars to subrecipients in excess of $30,000 during fiscal year 2024 and no FFATA reports were filed.
Effect – CSS did not meet Federal requirements.
Cause – There is currently no system in place to track reporting deadlines and submissions.
Repeat finding – No.
Recommendation – We recommend CSS work to establish an internal tracking system to memorialize reporting deadlines by grant agreement and track the submission of required reports as outlined in the grant agreement.
Views of Responsible Officials – Management agrees with the finding and recommendation.
