So much federal grant activity these days centers on subawarding. The massive federal programs enacted in response to the pandemic, as well as programs that have been in place for years, are designed to turn primary recipients into pass-through entities that subgrant funds to a broad collection of government, nonprofit and commercial subrecipients.
The applicable federal rules in the Office of Management and Budget’s “Uniform Guidance” (2 CFR 200) require that pass-through entities must “evaluate each subrecipient’s risk of non-compliance with federal statutes, regulations and the terms and conditions of the subaward.” While the evaluation is mandatory, the rules only suggest a few factors that should be taken into account. They don’t hint about what other questions to ask before making a subaward, nor do they specify what you should do once you’ve gathered the information.
This practical webinar will help you fill those big gaps and craft an effect process for assessing subrecipient risk. You’ll learn about:
- Resources to assess a subrecipient’s past performance
- How to check a subrecipient’s audit history, and what to do next
- Features of management systems that subrecipients should have in place
- How to judge the qualifications of a subrecipient’s administrative and program personnel
- The transition to Uniform Entity Identifier (UEI) numbers for subrecipients
- Revised requirements for reporting under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)
- Program features that lend themselves to use of fixed amount subawards, and how to obtain needed permission
- Appropriate steps for imposing special subaward agreement conditions on “higher risk” subrecipients
- How to exercise “differential accountability” by varying post-award monitoring techniques
