5 Effective Dates section 200.110 December 26, 2014  Uniform Guidance is effective for all Federal awards and for additional funding to existing awards (funding increments) made on or after this date.  Procurement requirements - The Federal Government will provide non-Federal entities a grace period for one full fiscal year after the effective date of the Uniform Guidance with certain requirements. (FAQ.110-6)  Beginning FY 2017 Full Compliance with Procurement Requirements 5

6 Effective Dates section 200.110 December 26, 2014 through June 30, 2015  Non-federal entities must adopt new administrative requirements and cost principles for all new Federal awards and funding increments to existing awards. Auditor compliance testing will be effected if an entity has new awards or funding increments made on or after the effective date of the guidance Read and understand the terms and conditions of your Federal award (FAQ.110-6) 6

7 Effective Dates section 200.110 Fiscal year-end June 30, 2016 and beyond  New single audit requirements will apply  Auditors may have to continue testing some awards under the “old” regulations and some under the Uniform Guidance  Testing under the “old” regulations and “new” guidance may continue for several years 7

8 Effective Dates section 200.110 Fiscal year-end June 30, 2017  Non-federal entities who chose to take advantage of the one full fiscal year grace period must comply with procurement requirements under the uniform guidance. 8

9 Effective Dates – Old or New?

In February 2015, the cognizant agency provided incremental funding to the November 2014 federal award and noted the uniform guidance applied. 9

10 Effective Dates – Old or New? Assumes June 30, 2015, Year-end  Scenario 1 Funding for the federal award received in early December is subject to the “old” regulations.  Scenario 2 Funding for the ‘original’ July 2014, October 2014 and November 2014 federal awards subject to the “old” regulations. Incremental funding to the November 2014 federal award is subject to the uniform guidance. 10

12 What you need to know – Subpart A  Key Acronyms and Definitions  Use of “SHOULD” and “MUST”. Should = best practice or recommended approach. Must = required OMB has identified all SHOULDs and MUSTs in the “interim final rule” published on December 19, 2014  Contractor will be used instead of “vendor”. These terms have the same meaning  Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Protected Personally Identifiable Information (PPII). Definitions can be found in sections 200.79 (PII) and 200.82 (PPII) Auditors and auditees must ensure that no protected personally identifiable information is included in their respective parts of the reporting package 12

21 What you need to know  Internal Controls  Determine an appropriate framework or review existing framework based on your agency’s needs. An internal control framework serves as a way to:  Effectively apply internal controls  Identify and analyze risks  Develop and manage responses to risks 21

22 What you need to know  Internal Control Components  Internal control consists of five integrated components:  Control environment: Tone at the top  Risk assessment: Determining what could go wrong  Control activities: Actual internal control policies and procedures that are put in place  Information and Communication: Set requirements, expectations and responsibility for carrying out the internal control environment  Monitoring: Process of ensuring that controls are operating effectively 22

28 What you need to know – Subpart D  Procurement – Identified State Impact  Geographical preferences  The uniform guidance is clear that if utilizing federal funds to procure goods/services the nonfederal entity must conduct procurements in a manner that prohibits the use of statutorily or administratively imposed state or local geographical preferences (see supplementary information in the 12/26/14 final guidance – 200.319)  No other known impacts as of today 28

29 Subrecipient Monitoring and Management Requirements  200.330 Subrecipient and Contractor Determinations  200.331 Requirements of Pass-Through Entities 29 What you need to know – Subpart D

30  Subrecipient and Contractor Determinations 200.330  (a) Subrecipients  (b) Contractors  (c) Use of Judgment DNR must make case-by-case determinations whether each agreement it makes for the disbursement of Federal program funds casts the party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or a contractor. (In the new guidance, contractor is used instead of vendor) 30

31 What you need to know – Subpart D (a) Subrecipients  A subaward is for the purpose of carrying out a portion of a Federal award and creates a Federal assistance relationship with the subrecipient.  Characteristics of a Subrecipient: 1.Determines who is eligible to receive what Federal assistance 2.Has its performance measured in relation to whether objectives of a Federal program were met 3.Has responsibility for programmatic decision making 4.Is responsible for adherence to applicable Federal program requirements specified in the Federal award 5.In accordance with its agreement, uses the Federal funds to carry out a program for a public purpose specified in authorizing statute, as opposed to providing goods or services for the benefit of the pass-through entity 31

32 What you need to know – Subpart D (b) Contractors  A contract is for the purpose of obtaining goods and services for DNR’s own use and creates a procurement relationship with the contractor.  Characteristics of a Contractor: 1.Provides the goods and services within normal business operations 2.Provides similar goods or services to many different purchasers 3.Normally operates in a competitive environment 4.Provides goods or services that are ancillary to the operation of the Federal program 5.Is not subject to compliance requirements of the Federal program as a result of the agreement, though similar requirements may apply for other reasons 32

33 What you need to know – Subpart D (c) Use of Judgment  In determining whether an agreement between a pass-through entity (DNR) and another non-Federal entity casts the latter as a subrecipient or contractor, the substance of the relationship is more important than the form of the agreement.  All of the characteristics listed above may not be present in all cases, and the pass-through entity must use judgment in classifying each agreement as a subaward or a procurement contract. 33

34 What you need to know – Subpart D Requirements for Pass-Through Entities 200.331  DNR MUST: (a)Ensure that every subaward is clearly identified to the subrecipient as a subaward and include all required information at the time of the subaward (b)Evaluate each subrecipient’s risk of noncompliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward for purposes of determining the appropriate subrecipient monitoring (c)Consider imposing specific subaward conditions upon a subrecipient if appropriate (d)Monitor the activities of the subrecipient as necessary to ensure that the subaward is used for authorized purposes, in compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the subaward; and that the subaward performance goals are achieved 34

35 What you need to know – Subpart D Requirements for Pass-Through Entities 200.331  DNR MUST: (e)Depending on DNR’s assessment of risk posed by the subrecipient, determine which monitoring tools will be used to ensure proper accountability and compliance with program requirements and achievement of performance goals (f)Verify that subrecipients who are expected to expend $750,000 or more in Federal funds obtain the required audits (g)Consider whether results of subrecipient monitoring procedures necessitate adjustments to DNR’s records (h)Consider taking enforcement action against noncompliant subrecipients 35
