Streamline A-133 monitoring requirements for A-133 compliant institutions Working Group on Stewardship and Accountability Description: OMB Circular A-133, "Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations" requires recipients of federal funds to oversee financial accountability for subrecipients. The Circular, including a Compliance Supplement that provides more detailed instructions to recipients and auditors, does not fully take into account that many universities or non-profit institution when participating as subrecipients are also fully compliant with the auditing requirements as direct recipients of federal funds. The uniqueness of this "R & D Cluster Program" (as defined by A-133) is that it is the only cluster program that has multiple federal agencies as funding sources. As a result, recipients are duplicating certain subrecipient monitoring functions required of federal agencies that directly fund these organizations. OMB corrected some of the problem with a recent change to the Compliance Supplement , however, it may be possible to further streamline the process and improve financial performance. |
