EDA Generally Monitored Grants Awarded Under the FY 2019 EDA Disaster Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity

For our audit of the U.S. Economic Development Administration’s (EDA’s) monitoring of fiscal year (FY) 2019 disaster relief grants, our objective was to determine whether EDA monitored grants awarded under the FY 2019 EDA Disaster Supplemental Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to ensure compliance with grant terms, conditions, and performance requirements. We found that EDA generally monitored grants awarded under the NOFO. However, we found that EDA could improve project monitoring activities by following up on late submissions of Federal Financial Reports and Project Progress Reports by the grantees.
