The Sub-Recipient Monitoring Toolkit: IAW Uniform Guidance effective Nov. 12, 2020

Description

Before the Uniform Guidance (UG) was promulgated, guidance for subrecipient monitoring was only known to auditors in Requirement M of the compliance supplement. Sub-recipient monitoring is a critical requirement for Pass-Through-Entities (PTE) to ensure programmatic and financial compliance with a particular Federal program. The UG has devoted only 2 sections to sub-recipient monitoring. Consequently, it is important that this session provides an abundance of practical experience through best practices to fill in some of the gaps.

Highlights

• Best practices of utilizing a sub-award agreement to limit financial exposure with sub-recipient.
• Best practice of budgetary control over the financial operation of the subrecipient. Performance-based payments to facilitate improved financial monitoring over sub-recipients.
• Risk-based monitoring.
• Revision to the UG impacting sub-recipients and PTEs.

Objectives

• Understanding the difference between sub-awards and contracts.
• Learning the important role of sub-award agreements to ensure compliance with sub-recipients.
• Discovering the myriad of PTE responsibilities.
• Processes to ensure follow up of sub-recipient audit deficiencies with action plans.
