below established minimum

The Uniform Guidance
• 2 CFR 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards
• Applicable to non-federal entities receiving federal awards:– State, local, and tribal governments– Colleges and universities– Not-for-profit organizations
45
![Page 46: Chart Chat Webinar - Michigan](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032902/623fd9de1fd925339b724ebd/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
The Uniform Guidance
• Major requirements of recipients of federal awards:– Financial management systems to separately identify, track, and
effectively control each source of federal funds– Written procedures covering at a minimum: cash management,
allowability of costs, procurement, and compensation and benefits– Establish and maintain effective internal control over both financial
reporting and compliance with federal requirements– In certain circumstances, recipients must have a “single audit”
conducted
46
![Page 47: Chart Chat Webinar - Michigan](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032902/623fd9de1fd925339b724ebd/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
When is a single audit required?
• In general, a single audit is required for any fiscal year in which a non-Federal entity expends at least $750,000 of federal awards. This is typically based on when federal money was expended (not when the award was made). However, this can be complicated by the fact that not all federal programs are subject to the single audit.
47

When is a single audit required?
• Treasury - CARES Programs– Coronavirus Relief Local Government Grants (CRLGG) Program – First Responder Hazard Pay Premiums Program (FRHPPP) – Public Safety and Public Health Payroll Reimbursement Program
(PSPHPR)

What does a single audit entail?
• A single audit begins with a traditional financial statement audit, conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. In addition, the auditor will identify one or more “major programs”. Each major program is subjected to rigorous compliance testing for adherence to Federal regulations. The results of the audit are posted to a public website.
49
![Page 50: Chart Chat Webinar - Michigan](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032902/623fd9de1fd925339b724ebd/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Can my existing auditor perform my single audit?
• Possibly. A single audit must be conducted in accordance with Government Auditing Standards. Only certain CPA firms have undergone the industry-specific training necessary to conduct a single audit.
• Consider looking for a firm that is a member of the AICPA’s Government Audit Quality Center– https://www.aicpa.org/interestareas/governmentalauditquality/
membership/findamemberfirm.html

![Page 51: Chart Chat Webinar - Michigan](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032902/623fd9de1fd925339b724ebd/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
How do I prepare for a single audit?
• The first step is developing and implementing appropriate policies and procedures. If you haven’t received federal financial assistance in the past, you may need assistance in identifying the key compliance areas and best practices for ensuring a clean audit.
• In addition, obtaining appropriate training for the members of your organization responsible for expending federal funds may be helpful.
