Finding Text

2 CFR § 1000.10 gives regulatory effect to Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, set forth at 2 CFR part 200 for the Department of Treasury. 2 CFR 200.329(c)(1) states that non-Federal entities must submit performance reports at the interval required by the Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity to best inform improvements in program outcomes and productivity. Reports submitted quarterly must be due no later than 30 calendar days after the reporting period. 31 CFR 35.4(c) requires recipients, in part, during the period of performance, to provide the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Treasury periodic reports providing detailed accounting of the uses of funds, modifications to a State or Territory's tax revenue sources, and such other information as the Secretary may require for the administration of this section. The U.S. Department of Treasury provided supplementary information on reporting requirements in its interim final rule for State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds for 31 CFR Part 35 and provided further guidance in its Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds Compliance and Reporting Guide. The County was required to submit the initial Project and Expenditure Report for the period from March 3, 2021 to March 31, 2022 to the U.S Department of Treasury by April 30, 2022. Per review of the initial filed Project and Expenditure Report the report was filed on May 10, 2022, which was after the required due date. Reporting errors could adversely affect future grant awards. An additional control(s) and/or procedure(s) should be implemented to help ensure required reports are accurately prepared and submitted in a timely manner.
