**NOTE:** All questions that address requirements contain the citation
for the source of the requirement (statute, regulation, NOFA, or grant
agreement). Except for questions 6, 13, 15, 17, 25, 43 and 45, if the
requirement is not met, HUD must make a finding of noncompliance. All
other questions (questions that do not contain the citation for the
requirement) do not address requirements, but are included to assist the
reviewer in understanding the participant\'s program more fully and/or
to identify issues that, if not properly addressed, could result in
deficient performance. Negative conclusions to these questions may
result in a \"concern\" being raised, but not a **\"finding.**\"

**[Instructions]{.underline}:** Use this Exhibit to monitor a program
participant's conformity to financial management requirements. The
exhibit is divided into 11 sections covering: Financial Management;
Advances; the SF-272, Federal Cash Transactions Report; Internal
Controls; Accuracy of Report Information; Program Income; Salaries and
Wages; Indirect Costs; Minority-Owned Financial Institutions; Lump Sum
Drawdowns; and OMB Circular A-133. The program participant's financial
management system is to be reviewed for compliance with 24 CFR Parts 84
or 85 (as applicable). Additional instructions for a review of
compliance with OMB Circular A-133 are provided in Section XI, along
with an attached audit review worksheet, "Guide for Review of OMB
Circular A-133 Audits Management System."

> **[Instructions]{.underline}:** Program participants under many CPD
> programs are subject to OMB Circular A-133, which establishes audit
> requirements pursuant to the Single Audit Act Amendments of 1996 for
> states, local governments, and non-profit organizations that receive
> Federal aid. The Circular defines responsibilities for implementing
> and monitoring those requirements.
>
> Program participants that, in turn, provide Federal funds to secondary
> organizations are called pass-through entities. For simplification
> purposes, the term "subrecipient" will be used in this guide to refer
> to all such secondary organizations. Pass-through entities are
> required by OMB A-133, §\_\_\_.400(d) to establish systems to oversee
> subrecipient compliance with A-133. This section of questions is
> designed to assist in determining whether the participant is in
> compliance with the required elements of an audits management system.
> An audits management review worksheet is attached to this Exhibit that
> can be used to help document the results from testing a sample of
> grants to subrecipients against the program participant's control
> system.

**[Instructions]{.underline}:** This worksheet is intended to supplement
the information contained in the Section [K. OMB Circular A-133: Audits
of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations]{.underline},
of the Guide for Review of Financial Management. Where subrecipient
audits are reviewed to confirm the implementation of the program
participant's system, select a sample of grants and insert the names of
the subrecipients in column (a) and the fiscal year end dates in column
(b) of Part I. Insert due dates and receipt deadlines in columns (c)
through (e) of Part I; and answer "yes" or "no," as appropriate, in
columns (f) through (j) of Part II.
