L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Pub. L. No. 110-252, hereafter referred to as the ?Transparency Act? 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) Condition: The City did not report the subaward information for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. Questioned Costs: N/A Context: One of the City?s two subawards was initially selected for testing under the program. The City did not report the subaward information for the approximately $419,000 passed through to the sub recipient in fiscal year 2022. The sample was not intended to be, and was not, a statistically valid sample. Upon further discussion and analysis, the City did not report the subaward information for any of the subawards, which totaled approximately $429,000 in fiscal year 2022. Effect: The City did not report the subaward information as required. Cause: The City did not have adequate controls or procedures in place to identify the applicable reporting requirement and ensure the information was filed accurately and timely.
