Finding Text

Criteria or Specific Requirement: The quarterly reporting requirements were stated in the "2 CFR 200.328 and 31 CFR section 35.1(c) Reporting and requests for other information" section of the Federal Register dated January 27, 2022. The US Department of Treasury requries that quarterly reports be submitted to the department if a county has a populaton below 250,000 residents and are allocated more than $10 million in SLFRF funding. The quarterly reports must be completed and submitted within the next month after the quarterly period ended. Condition: The County was not able to provide the SLFRF quarterly report to verify that the report was submitted and completed within a timely manner.
