Before the Uniform Guidance (UG) was promulgated, guidance for subrecipient monitoring was only known to auditors in Requirement M of the compliance supplement. Sub-recipient monitoring is a critical requirement for Pass-Through-Entities (PTE) to ensure programmatic and financial compliance with a particular Federal program. The UG has devoted only 2 sections to sub-recipient monitoring. Consequently, it is important that this session provides an abundance of practical experience through best practices to fill in some of the gaps.
