The required information includes identification of subrecipients, which are entities that receive a subaward from a recipient to carry out the purposes (program or project) of the SLFRF award on behalf of the recipient. Subrecipient relationships require additional monitoring and compliance steps. The direct recipient (the County) is responsible for determining if an entity is considered to be a subrecipient. Condition/Context: One of the two quarterly project expenditure reports tested reported fifteen subrecipients, which does not agree to the County’s determination of the relationship with the entity or the exclusion of subrecipient payments reported in the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards for SLFRF. The sample was not statistically valid. Cause: The County did not have internal controls in place requiring an independent person with an understanding of the subrecipient terminology and classification to review the report prior to submission to the US Department of Treasury. Effect: The report was submitted with subrecipient misclassifications. Questioned Costs: None noted. Recommendation: The County should review its internal control procedures to ensure there are proper review and approval processes in place over completeness and accuracy of reports before submissions to federal agencies are completed.
