Finding 2024-001 Audit Finding: In accordance with 2 CFR § 200.332(a) of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), pass-through entities are required to “clearly identify to the subrecipient” certain information and requirements at the time of subaward, including the Federal award identification, all compliance requirements, and any additional terms and conditions imposed by the pass-through entity. The Town did not execute a formal subrecipient agreement with Fishers Island Ferry District, to whom federal funds were passed through during the audit period. Specifically, no written agreement was in place outlining the subrecipient’s responsibilities, applicable compliance requirements, or the terms and conditions of the award. Recommendation: We recommend that the Town develop and implement procedures to ensure that formal written subrecipient agreements are executed prior to the disbursement of federal funds. These agreements should contain all elements required by 2 CFR § 200.332(a), including the identification of the federal award, applicable compliance requirements, and any additional terms and conditions. Corrective Action Plan: In coordination with the Supervisor’s office, Town Attorney’s office, and Comptroller’s office, formal subrecipient agreements will be prepared and executed, with adoption of Town Board resolutions, between the Town of Southold and pass-through entities concurrently as Federal grant contracts are awarded, as applicable. Responsible Individual: Albert J. Krupski Jr., Town Supervisor Paul DeChance, Town Attorney Michelle Nickonovitz, Town Comptroller Planned Date of Implementation: Corrective action plan procedures have already been communicated and implemented to ensure that formal written subrecipient agreements with pass-through entities are executed prior to the disbursement of federal funds.
