AI Summary

  • Core Issue: Subrecipient agreements lack required information and monitoring processes are inadequate.
  • Impacted Requirements: Non-compliance with CFR § 200.332 and insufficient documentation for expenditure monitoring.
  • Recommended Follow-up: Establish a formal monitoring process and ensure all agreements include necessary information and documentation.

Finding Text

Subrecipient monitoring was direct and material to the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds program. The County passed funding to sixteen subrecipients and five subrecipients were selected for testing. Based upon the subrecipients selected for testing, subrecipient agreements were executed but did not include all required information under CFR § 200.332. In addition, the County does not have a formal process to monitor expenditures incurred by subrecipients. Reimbursement requests are submitted by subrecipients but supporting documentation was not consistently provided by subrecipient to enable the County to effectively monitor subrecipient expenditures.

Corrective Action Plan

Action taken in response to finding: The County will review the subrecipient monitoring requirements and work with the County Auditor to develop a formal policy that includes internal controls, monitoring procedures, and documentation requirements.
