Entitlement Grant COVID-19 - Community Development Block Grants/ Entitlement Grants-CV Name of Federal Agency: Department of Housing and Urban Development Federal Award Identification Number: B-21-MC-06-0042 COVID-19 ? B-20-MW-06-0042 CDBG Daly City Pass Through #Not Available Name of Pass-through Entity: City of Daly City Criteria: Under the requirements of the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) (Pub. L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Public Law 110-252 that are codified in 2 CFR Part 170, direct recipients of grants are required to report first-tier subawards of $30,000 or more to the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act Subaward Reporting System (FSRS). Subawards that are entered into the FSRS System should be maintained so that any amendments to the subawards are also reflected in the system. Condition: We selected two of the City?s subawards for testing of the reporting on the FSRS. The two subawards tested were both more than $30,000. City staff was not able to provide documentation that the subawards were reported in the FSRS. Cause: We understand that program staff were not familiar with the FFATA reporting requirements. Effect: The City is not in compliance with the FFATA reporting requirements. Recommendation: The City should review all first-tier subaward agreements of $30,000 or more to ensure that FFATA reporting is completed. In addition, the City should develop procedures to ensure that FFATA reporting is accurate at all times and reflects any contract amendments and final subaward funding amounts.
