Finding Text

Finding 2025-001: Non-Compliance with Federal Fund Accountability and Transparency Act Information on the Federal Programs: 98.001 (Helping Survivors Heal) Criteria or Specific Requirement: In accordance with 2 CFR Chapter 1, Part 170, prime awardees of a Federal grant are required to file a FFATA sub-award report by the end of the month following the month in which the prime awardee awards any sub-award equal to or greater than $30,000 in Federal funds that does not include recovery funds. Condition: We identified two of two instances tested in which CVT did not submit a sub-recipient's FFATA report in a timely manner. Cause: CVT was made aware of the FFATA reporting requirement in February 2025, at which time FFATA reports were submitted for all sub-recipients in place. Effect or Potential Effect: CVT was not in compliance with FFATA reporting requirements. Questioned Costs: None noted as this compliance requirement is a administrative reporting requirement that does not impact cost eligibility. Context: We performed statistical sampling procedures over CVT's sub-recipients required to be reported under FFATA. We consider this sample representative of the population. Identification as a Repeat Finding, if Applicable: Refer to finding 2024-001. Recommendation: We recommend that CVT clearly communicate FFATA reporting requirements to responsible staff, and conduct regular trainings to ensure that there is an understanding of requirements to be in compliance with FFATA.

Corrective Action Plan

Views of Responsible Officials: CVT has reviewed training in timely FFATA reporting with Finance staff working with sub-recipients.
