Does the Single Audit Act apply to CSLFRF?
As provided for in the award terms, payments from the Fiscal Recovery Funds as a general matter will be subject to the provisions of the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (2 CFR 200) (the Uniform Guidance), including the cost principles and restrictions on general provisions for selected items of cost.
(See p. 4438 of the Final Rule)
How is a subrecipient defined?
Treasury is aligning the definition of subrecipient in the final rule with the definition of subrecipient in the Uniform Guidance. 2 CFR 200.1 of the Uniform Guidance defines a subrecipient, in that ‘‘[s]ubrecipient means an entity, usually but not limited to non-Federal entities, that receives a subaward from a passthrough entity to carry out part of a Federal award; but does not include an individual that is a beneficiary of such award. A subrecipient may also be a recipient of other Federal awards directly from a Federal awardingagency.’’
