Such reporting is required to be submitted no later than the last day of the month following the month in which the subaward obligation was made. Condition and Context—We found that the City awarded more than $30,000 to a subrecipient of the program.

Cause—The City did not comply with the compliance reporting requirements as outlined by the FFATA and Title 2, Part 170 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Effect or Potential Effect—Noncompliance with the reporting requirements of the FFATA and Title 2, Part 170 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Recommendation—We recommend that the City follow all reporting requirements as outlined by the FFATA and Title 2, Part 170 of the Code of Federal Regulations, including filing reports in a timely manner. View of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Action Plan—These issues have been resolved with the implementation of consistent procedures for these funds.
