Finding Text
Criteria: Under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) (Pub. L. No. 109-282 and Pub. L. No. 113-101), codified in 2 CFR 170, subawards to subrecipients (upon reaching equal to or greater than $30,000) should be reported in the FFATA Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) no later than the last day of the month following the month in which the subaward amendment obligation was made or the subcontract award modification was made. Condition and Effect: FFATA monitoring submissions were not identified or submitted in the FSRS, within the required timeframe. Context: There were 9 subawards where the FFATA requirement was applicable, no reports were submitted, and management was not aware of this requirement. Cause: There was not adequate tracking of report requirements and deadlines. Questioned Costs: N/A Recommendation: We recommend that HALO strengthen internal controls to ensure appropriate identification and timely submission of all applicable reports required under the CFR and HALO's grant agreements. Views of Responsible Officials: Halo agrees that the FFATA reporting requirement was applicable and will ensure the submission of these reports are scheduled into the standard work plan of the PMWRA Grants Management Team at the HALO Trust USA.
