Audit Types 1. A non-federal entity (awardee) that expends $750,000 or more during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in federal awards (federal pass-through and direct federal funds) from all sources must have a single audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.514. Awardee’s meeting certain requirements may elect to have a program-specific audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.507 with the approval of their cognizant agency. 2. A non-federal entity that expends less than $750,000 during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in federal awards (federal pass-through and/or direct federal funds) from all sources is exempt from federal audit requirements for that year. These non-federal entities are not subject to the single audit requirements. 3. Non-federal entities who expend less than $750,000 in direct federal and federal passthrough funds from all sources are subject to the following audit requirements: a. Non-federal entities who expend $500,000 or more during the non-federal entity's fiscal year in State, direct federal and federal pass-through funds, singularly or in any combination, and are not subject to the single audit: i. Must have a financial statement audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS); and ii. If deemed to be high risk based on their grantee risk profile (includes but not limited to: the Financial and Administrative Risk Assessment, the Merit-Based Review, the Programmatic Risk Assessment, prior history and experience in administering grants, and results of prior audits and/or other regulatory reviews and corrective action status) are required to undergo either an on-site review conducted by the State cognizant agency or an agreed upon procedures engagement, paid for and arranged by the Pass-Through Entity(ies) (PTE(s)) in accordance with 2 CFR 200.425. b.
