Subrecipient Monitoring Departments of Education Passed through Minnesota Department of Education Federal Financial Assistance Listing 84.027/84.173 Special Education Cluster Condition: During our audit, we found that RAED did not have proper subrecipient monitoring documentation related to approvals and communication of subaward terms and conditions.

Cause: Communication to subrecipients about terms and conditions of the subaward was not sent out during the fiscal year. It was also noted that there was a missed approval of a reimbursement request during staff turnover. Effect: RAED is not incompliance with Federal Award Programs.
