Management decision deadline — for entities that funded this organization
The FAC accepted this audit on May 23, 2024. Under 2 CFR 200.521(d), a pass-through entity that provided federal funds to this organization for this audit period must issue a management decision on these findings by November 23, 2024 (637 days ago).
What is a management decision? →The Organization works with subrecipients and some of its subawards require compliance with the FFATA requirement. The Organization did not complete required FFATA reporting for the Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant Program during 2023. Cause: Supervision controls failed to detect that FFATA reporting was not completed, thus, controls over compliance did not operate effectively. The Organization’s program staff is aware of the FFATA reporting requirement and has complied with FFATA reporting for other recurring grants, however, the Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant Program was a new program for the Organization during 2023. Effect: The Organization is not in compliance with FFATA reporting requirements as they relate to the Affordable Connectivity Outreach Grant Program. Questioned Costs: None Context: The Organization did not report its subawards as required to the FSRS system. Repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that the Organization strengthen supervision and review controls over evaluating subawards for reporting requirements under FFATA and tracking whether reporting occurs timely and accurately. Views of responsible individuals: Management concurs with and will implement the recommendation. See corrective action plan.

L. No. 109-282), as amended by Section 6202 of Public Law 110-252, hereafter referred to as the Transparency Act that is 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). The requirements pertain to recipients (i.e. direct recipients) of grants or cooperative agreements who make first-tier subawards and contractors (i.e. prime contractors) that award first-tier subcontracts. There are limited exceptions as specified in 2 CFR Part 170 and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).

Management concurs with this recommendation. GII Mission Team plans to complete the FFATA reporting on its Subaward Reporting System (FSRS) for the Federal Communications Commission grant (FCC). The team will provide training to relevant staff on GII’s New Grant Start Up checklist from the GII Grant Management Toolkit that requires a review of Grant Terms and Conditions including the FFATA reporting requirement for federal grants, and training on the process for reporting the FFATA on FSRS. This includes collection of required elements, such as the UEI number, congressional districts zip codes, and level of Federal grants received from subrecipients. Additionally, the supervisor must review and approve the report before submission. Confirmation of successful submission is required for the grant records. GII will review grant startup checklist within 30 days of receipt of grant with program manager and grant accounting staff to ensure all required activities are completed. The team will ensure that the grant start up process is followed with all new federal grants. With the described action plan, GII will strengthen supervision and review controls over evaluating subawards for reporting requirements under FFATA and tracking whether reporting occurs timely and accurately. Persons Responsible for Corrective Action: Martin Scaglione Kristin Pratt Chief Mission Officer Sr. Director Grant Operations and Administration Implementation of the Correction Action Plan: All corrective actions will be completed by June 30, 2024.
FAC accepted this audit on May 13, 2021 — management decision was due November 13, 2021.
In December 2020, the Department of Labor (DOL) conducted an Enhanced Desk Monitoring Review of GII?s SCSEP grant #AD-35214-20-60-A-24. The DOL did not agree with GII?s interpretation of what costs should be reported as headquarters administrative cost. As a result, $118,231 of costs that were initially reported as headquarters administrative were reclassified to program. Cause: GII had interpreted the definition to mean that essentially all of the GII grant costs it incurred (excluding subrecipient costs) should be categorized as headquarters administrative. Since there is a specific limit on the amount of administrative costs that can be incurred, GII felt that its interpretation was reasonable and conservative for purposes of grant reporting. GII also noted that the costs reported in this manner never exceeded the 13.5% maximum administrative cost. However, the DOL did not agree with this interpretation. Effect: GII?s ETA-9130 report for the period ended September 30, 2020 required adjustment. As required by the DOL, this adjustment was made as part of the December 31, 2020 ETA-9130 report. Questioned costs: None Repeat finding: No Recommendation: We recommend that GII establish policies and procedures to ensure that costs are classified in accordance with the definitions of the Terms and Conditions as interpreted by the DOL. Views of responsible officials: See corrective action plan.
