Finding Text
Federal Agency: Department of Health and Human Services
Federal Program: 93.137 Community Programs to Improve Minority Health Grant Program
Identification Number: 1 CPIMP211296-01-00
Requirement: Subrecipient Monitoring
Type of Finding: Material weakness in internal control over major program; Noncompliance
Criteria: A pass-through entity must verify that subrecipients expected to be audited as required by 2 CFR Part 200, Subpart F, met this requirement. This verification ensures that the subrecipients take timely and appropriate action on deficiencies identified through single audits.
Condition: Program management did not perform this verification.
Cause: Program management does not possess adequate knowledge of subrecipient monitoring requirements.
Effect: Failure to verify the single audit status of subrecipients may lead to unresolved subrecipient noncompliance and lead to federal inquiries of those charged with governance.
Context: Program management stated that the subrecipients did not undergo single audits. The Federal Audit Clearinghouse website noted that both subrecipients had filed single audits for the subaward period which included program 93.137.
Recommendation: Program management should obtain the single audits performed for the subrecipients and review for program deficiencies.
