AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The County failed to provide complete and accurate subaward information to the subrecipient due to inadequate internal controls.
  • Impacted Requirements: Compliance with U.S. regulations requiring pass-through entities to monitor subrecipients and ensure they understand grant requirements.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Enhance internal control procedures to improve compliance with subrecipient monitoring and reporting requirements.

Finding Text

Criteria: Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance) section 200.330, .331, and .332 requires that, as a pass-through entity, the County is responsible for identifying and reporting to the subrecipient the award information and applicable requirements to carrying out the award, as well as monitoring the activities of the subrecipient to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, complies with the terms and conditions of the subaward, and achieves performance goals. Condition and Cause: Due to inadequate internal controls, the County did not provide complete and accurate subaward information to the subrecipient. Effect/Potential Effect: Subrecipients may not be aware of the grant reporting or compliance requirements for proper inclusion in their financial reports. Questioned Costs: None noted. Context: The County passed $101,794 through to the McDermitt GID and did not perform adequate procedures to ensure subrecipient compliance. This is not, however, deemed to be a questioned cost as no instances of material non-compliance were noted during our testing of the subrecipient’s grant activities. Recommendation: Internal control procedures should be enhanced to ensure compliance with subrecipient monitoring requirements. Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We agree with this finding and will enhance control procedures as recommended. Repeat Finding from Prior Year: Yes; 2024-007

Corrective Action Plan

Grant responsibilities have been transferred under the supervision of the Comptroller and will enhance control procedures to monitor the activities of subrecipients to ensure and document that the subaward was used for authorized purposes. Please note, that this was not deemed to be a questioned cost as no instances of material non-compliance were noted during the testing of subrecipients grant activities.
