Awards to Subrecipients. Criteria – The Uniform Guidance, Part 200.332 states, “All pass-through entities must: ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and includes the following information at the time of the subaward and if any of those data elements change, include the changes in subsequent subaward modification. When some of this information is not available, the pass-through entity must provide the best information available to describe the Federal award and subaward.” Required information includes, in part, identification of whether the award is research and development (R&D), the indirect cost rate for the federal award (including if the de minimis rate is charged) per Part 200.414, the subrecipient unique entity identifier (UEI), the federal award identification number, the federal award date of award to the recipient by the Federal agency, the name of the Federal awarding agency, the Assistance Listing number and Title. Condition – For subawards, the Local Workforce Development Area did not include identification of whether the award is R&D, the indirect cost rate for the federal award (including if the de minimis rate is charged) per Part 200.414, the subrecipient UEI, the federal award identification number, the federal award date of award to the recipient by the Federal agency, the Assistance Listing number and Title. Cause – The Local Workforce Development Area has not established policies and procedures to ensure all required information is included in the subaward to the subrecipients. Effect – The information required in the subaward to subrecipients was not included due to the lack of policies and procedures. Recommendation – The Local Workforce Development Agency should establish policies and procedures to ensure all required information is included in the subaward to subrecipients as required by Uniform Guidance, Part 200.332. Response and Corrective Action Planned – We became aware of this issue prior to receipt of this audit report, and all subawards beginning in fiscal year 2025 are now compliant and contain all necessary elements required by uniform circular and WIOA. Conclusion – Response accepted.
