2 CFR 200: Subrecipient Monitoring And Management Compliance

Don’t let subrecipients’ errors hurt your organization. Learn about your complex monitoring and management duties.

You may have spent years trusting the organizations you support to maintain compliance when managing the grant funds you share. With heightened government scrutiny, now is the time to monitor subrecipients more closely to avoid losing federal funding.

When you provide funds to a subrecipient, your organization commits to management and monitoring duties, much like the oversight the federal government imposes on nonprofits. Under 2 CFR 200, you must:

• Conduct a risk assessment
• Consider acting on high-risk status
• Perform performance and financial monitoring
• Know when and how to provide technical assistance
• Understand requirements for enforcement and sanction actions

Implementing proven best practices will allow your organization to comply with complex federal Uniform Guidance and overcome risks.
