AI Summary

  • Core Issue: The City failed to document the risk assessment for one subrecipient, which is required by 2 CFR section 200.332(b).
  • Impacted Requirements: Lack of documentation means the City cannot confirm the subrecipient's low risk of noncompliance.
  • Recommended Follow-Up: Management should implement stronger internal controls for risk assessments and document retention.

Finding Text

Criteria or Specific Requirement: In accordance with 2 CFR section 200.332(b), each subrecipient?s risk of noncompliance must be evaluated. Condition: The City has two subrecipients under this grant receiving $674,871 out of expenditures of $1,187,264. The documentation of the risk assessment for one of the subrecipients who received $103,621 could not be found. Cause: Due care as it relates to documentation retention was not in place. Effect: The City does not have evidence that the subrecipient has low risk of noncompliance. Questioned Costs: None. Context: Other elements of subrecipient monitoring, such as the oversight of expenditures of funds via monthly and/or quarterly reporting, were in place. Identification of a repeat finding: Not a repeat finding. Recommendation: We recommend that management establish and maintain effective internal control ensuring proper risk assessment procedures as well as a process of ensuring document retention. Management Response: See Corrective Action Plan.
