Single Audit Applies (2 CFR Part 200 Subpart F):

For additional information on single audit requirements for this program, review the current Compliance Supplement.

OMB is working with the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) and agency offices of inspectors general to include links to relevant oversight reports. This section will be updated once this information is made available.

FFATA: As noted, FFATA was further amended in 2014 by the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act) to, among other items, require summary financial data be reported by Federal agencies in addition to Federal award data. 2 CFR part 25 Federal awards impacted by these requirements include grants, sub-grants, loans, awards, cooperative agreements, and other forms of financial assistance as well as contracts, subcontracts, purchase orders, task orders, and delivery orders. As the purpose of this part is to provide the public with information about how their tax dollars are spent, the following information must be provided for primary awards receiving federal funds that meet or exceed the micro-purchase threshold currently set at $10,000 for procurement contracts and for subawards exceeding $30,000 reporting. All subgrants that exceed $25,000 will also be required to report. AMS will be leveraging eFG and interfacing directly with USASpending.gov. To ensure data quality, AMS will leverage the preexisting processes utilized across multiple grant programs administered through eFG. Additionally, our defined monitoring and reporting oversight will serve as verification safeguard. Data Quality and Transparency: In addition to the normal, multi-phase review and analysis conducted for grantee reports, AMS will adhere to the existing MRP Data Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA Act) Quality Plan.
