Editorial commentary
Required by 2 CFR 200.332, subrecipient monitoring includes initial risk assessment at award time, financial monitoring (invoice review, expenditure documentation), programmatic monitoring (progress reports, deliverables), and audit follow-up (review of subrecipient's Single Audit findings, if applicable). The prime is ultimately responsible to the sponsor for subrecipient performance. Risk-based monitoring approaches concentrate oversight effort on higher-risk subrecipients.
