Finding 396473 (2023-001)

Program: USAID Foreign Assistance for Programs Overseas Assistance Listing Number: 98.001 Federal Agency: U.S. Agency for International Development Award Identification: 72068519CA00004 Year 2023 Criteria: Reporting – Under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (Pub. L. No. 109‐282), as amended by Section 6202 of Pub. L. No. 110 252, that are codified in 2 CFR Part 170, recipients (i.e., direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements are required to report first‐tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). This reporting (per 2 CFR Part 170, Appendix A, Section 1, paragraph 2.I.ii.) must be made no later than the end of the month following the month in which the obligation or modification was made to http://www.fsrs.gov. Condition: During the course of our audit procedures performed on reporting requirements, it was noted that subawards meeting the $30,000 threshold were not reported to FSRS as required. Questioned costs: None Context: We requested supporting documentation for five out of five subawards greater than $30,000 to support proper reporting to FSRS, but it was noted that no support could be provided as the reporting did not occur. Effect: Awards to subrecipients were not reported as required. Cause: The financial reporting team was not aware of the reporting requirement. Repeat finding: This is not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that Financial Services Volunteer Corps, Inc. implement controls and procedures to monitor its subawards and ensure that awards meeting the $30,000 threshold are identified and reported as required.
