Text of Recommendation | Direct UTD to strengthen its policies and procedures for creating and retaining documentation, including introducing additional controls to help ensure that it appropriately creates and maintains all documentation necessary to support the allowability of expenses charged to sponsored programs. Updated procedures could include: • Updating its policies for establishing subawards in foreign countries to require subawardees to provide general ledger data to support all costs invoiced to UTD. • Updating its current internal service provider policies and procedures to ensure only approved and assessed rates are invoiced and charged to federally-sponsored awards. • Providing additional training to ensure UTD only reimburses travelers for allowable, supported meal costs. |
