AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The County did not meet federal requirements for monitoring subrecipients, risking unallowable costs and misallocated resources.

  • Recommended Follow-Up: Strengthen internal controls by including subrecipient monitoring clauses in agreements and conducting regular oversight reviews.

Finding Text

The County failed to comply with subrecipient monitoring requirements as mandated by federal regulations and the grant terms. The County did not conduct regular oversight and monitoring of its subrecipients' programmatic and financial activities. The non-compliance with 2 CFR §200.330-332 (Subrecipient Monitoring) increases the likelihood of unallowable costs, misallocated resources, and non-compliance with program objectives. There was a change in key personnel responsible for the County's compliance with guidelines related to the federal program. Per 2 CFR §200.330-200.332, pass-through entities must monitor subrecipients to ensure compliance with federal statutes, award terms, and program objectives The County should strengthen its internal control procedures to ensure that the subaward agreement includes a clause for subrecipient monitoring activities and conduct monitoring reviews on a regular basis. The County's corrective action plan at the end of this report includes the views and planned actions of its responsible officials. We are not required to audit and have not audited these responses or corrective actions and therefore we provide no assurances as to their accuracy.
