Recommendation Details
Text of Recommendation
Direct MSU to strengthen the administrative and management internal controls and procedures surrounding its Award Cash Management $ervice reconciliation process. Updated controls could include: • Requiring MSU to develop a formal procedure regarding how to calculate the appropriate amount of funding to draw down on NSF awards with expiring appropriations. This procedure should ensure that MSU documents how it determined the appropriate amount to draw down and returns any unused funds to NSF in a timely manner. • Requiring an individual who is independent from the standard Award Cash Management $ervice drawdown process to perform periodic reconciliations of Award Cash Management $ervice drawdowns to MSU general ledger expenses for each NSF award, as well as to conduct a final review and reconciliation at award close-out.
