Finding Text

Views of responsible officials: Management, in conjunction with COTS’s outsourced accounting team, has implemented enhanced grant review procedures to ensure all funding agreements are evaluated for federal characteristics when awards are received and again prior to fiscal year-end close. Going forward, COTS’s outsourced accounting team will maintain a complete grant inventory, document the federal/nonfederal determination for each award, and review all new and existing grant agreements before year-end to confirm whether Single Audit reporting requirements apply. Management believes these procedures will help ensure timely identification of federal awards and timely submission of future audit reporting packages.
