AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The LDC failed to identify a subrecipient for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds when making a subaward.
  • Impacted Requirements: Lack of internal controls means the LDC may not comply with Federal regulations regarding subrecipients.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Implement procedures to assess all grant activities and contracts to identify subrecipients or beneficiaries.

Finding Text

Condition: The LDC did not identify a subrecipient of the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and applicable requirements at the time a subaward was made to another Organization. Criteria: Internal controls should be in place to ensure management identifies any subrecipients of Federal grants and has processes in place to notify and monitor the subrecipient. Cause: There were no procedures in place to determine if any grants were subawards to subrecipients. Effect: Because the terms and conditions of the subaward were not identified, the LDC may not have been able to comply with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Federal award. Recommendation: Procedures should be implemented to evaluate grant activity and contracts to make a determination of subrecipients or beneficiaries on all grant awards.

Corrective Action Plan

In future grant awards, JCLDC staff shall review the use of such funds against the federal guidelines for determining whether the recipient is a subrecipient or a contractor. We have also taken action (in a letter dated February 26, 2023) to notify the organization of their subrecipient status and their requirement that they conduct a single audit in compliance with Government Accounting Standards and Uniform Guidance requirements.
