Reporting
Performance Reports: As specified in the Notice of Funding Opportunity.
Auditing
Domestic Organizations: In accordance with the provisions of 2 CFR 200, Subpart F - Audit Requirements, non-Federal entities that expand financial assistance of $750,000 or more in Federal awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted that year. Non-federal entities that expand less than $750,000 a year in Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in 2 CFR 200.503. In accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular No. A-133 (Revised, June 27, 2003), "Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations," non-federal entities that expand financial assistance of $500,000 or more in Federal awards will have a single or a program-specific audit conducted for that year. Non-federal entities that expand less than $500,000 a year on Federal awards are exempt from Federal audit requirements for that year, except as noted in Circular No. A-133. International Organizations: a.) International organizations agree that their financial records will be subject to internal audit and that these audit reports will be disclosed to the awarding agency. They agree to provide additional clarifications as may be reasonably requested by the agency regarding questions arising from audit reports relating to the award. If the agency becomes aware of factors that indicate the need for closer scrutiny of HHS-funded activities, HHS will alert the recipient and the recipient's audit office will determine, after consultation with HHS, the need for a special independent audit and the scope and plan for any such audit. HHS is responsible for the costs of such an audit. Audit requirements for Subrecipients to whom 45 CFR 75 Subpart F applies: The recipient must ensure that the subrecipients receiving CDC funds also meet these requirements. The recipient must also ensure to take appropriate corrective action within six months after receipt of the subrecipient audit report in instances of non-compliance with applicable Federal law and regulations (45 CFR 75 Subpart F and HHS Grants Policy Statement). The recipient may consider whether subrecipient audits necessitate adjustment of the recipient's own accounting records. If a subrecipient is not required to have a program-specific audit, the recipient is still required to perform adequate monitoring of subrecipient activities. The recipient shall require each subrecipient to permit the independent auditor access to the subrecipient's records and financial statements. The recipient must include this requirement in all subrecipient contracts.
Records
The Recipient Agreement Books and Records. The recipient must maintain accounting books, records, documents and other evidence relating to the Agreement, adequate to show, without limitation, all costs incurred by the recipient, the receipt and use of goods and services acquired by the recipient, agreed-upon cost sharing requirements, the nature and extent of solicitations of prospective suppliers of goods and services acquired by the recipient, the basis of award of recipient contracts and orders, and the overall progress of the Agreement toward completion ("Agreement books and records"). The recipient must maintain Agreement books and records in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles prevailing in the United States, or at the recipient's option, with approval by HHS/CDC, other accounting principles, such as those (1) prescribed by the International Accounting Standards Committee (an affiliate of the International Federation of Accountants), or (2) prevailing in the country of the recipient. Agreement books and records must be maintained for at least three years after the date of last disbursement by HHS/CDC or for such longer period, if any, required to resolve any litigation, claims or audit findings.
