Text of Recommendation
Direct UNC to strengthen its policies and procedures related to establishing and monitoring subawards. Procedures could include: a. Establishing procedures that require the authorizing agent to verify that a subawardee is not suspended or debarred, that UNC completed the subrecipient commitment form, and that UNC appropriately performed a risk assessment before authorizing a subaward agreement. b. Implementing additional controls to ensure the departments do not approve subaward invoices that have not been approved by a PI. c. Providing periodic training to employees responsible for subaward monitoring to ensure that employees are performing and appropriately documenting all required monitoring. d. Performing periodic reviews of the accounts that UNC has established for tracking subawards to ensure that UNC charges the first $25,000 of expenses under each subaward to the “Subcontracts-Less than $25k” account.
