ARTICLE V AUDIT REQUIREMENTS 5 5.1 As a necessary part of this Agreement, the SUBRECIPIENT shall adhere to the following audit requirements: 5.1.1 If the SUBRECIPIENT expends $750,000 or more in federal funds during its fiscal year, it shall have a Single or a Program -Specific Audit conducted for that year. Such Audit must be conducted in accordance with General Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS.) a) Single Audit. A single audit must be conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.514 "Scope of Audit", except when the SUBRECIPIENT elects to have a Program -Specific Audit conducted in accordance with paragraph b) of this section. b) Program -Specific Audit. When a SUBRECIPIENT expends federal awards under only one federal program and the federal program's statutes, regulations, or the terms and conditions of the federal award do not require a financial statement audit of the SUBRECIPIENT, the SUBRECIPIENT may elect to have a Program -Specific Audit conducted in accordance with 2 CFR 200.507 "Program -Specific Audits". The auditor must: (i) Perform an audit of the financial statement(s) for the Federal program in accordance to GAGAS; (ii) Obtain an understanding of internal controls and perform tests of internal controls over the Federal program consistent with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.514(c) to ensure compliance with procedures; (iii) Perform procedures to determine whether the SUBRECIPIENT has complied with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards that could have a direct and material effect on the Federal program consistent with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.5 14(d). (iv) Follow up on prior audit findings, perform procedures to assess the reasonableness of the summary schedule of prior audit findings prepared by the SUBRECIPIENT in accordance with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.511 "Audit findings follow-up", and report, as a current year audit finding, when the auditor concludes that the summary schedule of prior audit findings materially misrepresents the status of any prior audit finding; and (v) Report any audit findings consistent with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.516 "Audit findings". The auditor's report(s) must state that the audit was conducted in accordance with this 2 CFR 200.507 "Program -Specific Audits" and include the following: (i) An opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) as to whether the financial statement(s) of the Federal program is presented fairly in all material respects in accordance with the stated accounting policies. 6 (ii) A report on internal control related to the Federal program, which must describe the scope of testing internal control and the results of the tests. (iii) A report on compliance which includes an opinion (or disclaimer of opinion) as to whether the SUBRECIPIENT complied with laws, regulations, and the terms and conditions of Federal awards which could have a direct and material effect on the Federal program; and (iv) A schedule of findings and questioned costs for the Federal program that includes a summary of the auditor's results relative to the Federal program in a format consistent with 2 CFR 200.515 "Audit reporting", paragraph (d)(1) and findings and questioned costs consistent with the requirements of 2 CFR 200.515 "Audit reporting", paragraph (d)(3). 5.1.2 If the SUBRECIPIENT expends less than $750,000 in federal funds during its fiscal year, it is exempted from federal audit requirements for that year and consequently the audit cost is not a reimbursable expense. The CITY, however, may request the SUBRECIPIENT to have a limited scope audit for monitoring purposes. These limited scope audits will be paid for and arranged by the CITY and address only one or more of the following types of compliance requirements: activities allowed or unallowed; allowable costs/cost principles; eligibility; matching, level of effort, earmarking; and reporting. All reports presented to the CITY shall, where applicable, include sufficient information to provide a proper perspective for judging the prevalence and consequences of the findings, such as whether an audit finding represents an isolated instance or a systemic problem. Where appropriate, instances identified shall be related to the universe and the number of cases examined and quantified in terms of dollar value. ARTICLE VI RECORDS AND REPORTS 6.1 The SUBRECIPIENT shall establish and maintain sufficient records to enable the CITY to determine whether the SUBRECIPIENT has met the requirements of the CDBG Program. At a minimum, the following records shall be maintained by the SUBRECIPIENT: 6.1.1 Records providing a full description of each activity assisted (or being assisted) with CDBG Funds, including its location (if the activity has a geographical locus), the amount of CDBG Funds budgeted, obligated and expended for the activity, and the specific provision in 24 CFR Subpart C of the CDBG Program regulations under which the activity is eligible. 6.1.2 Records demonstrating that each activity undertaken meets one of the criteria set forth in 24 CFR 570.208 of CDBG Program regulations. Where information on income by family size is required, the SUBRECIPIENT may substitute evidence establishing that the person assisted qualified under another program having income qualification criteria at least as restrictive as that used in the definitions of 7 "low- and moderate -income person" and "low- and moderate -income household" as set forth in 24 CFR 570.3; or, the SUBRECIPIENT may substitute a copy of a verifiable certification from the assisted person that his or her family income does not exceed the applicable income limit established in accordance with 24 CFR 570.3; or, the SUBRECIPIENT may substitute a notice that the assisted person is a referral from any governmental agency that determines persons to be "low- and moderate -income persons" based upon HUD's criteria and agrees to maintain documentation supporting those determinations. Such records shall include the following information: (i) For each activity determined to benefit low- and moderate -income persons, the income limits applied and the point in time when the benefit was determined. (ii) For each activity which benefits are available to all residents in a particular area, at least 51 percent of those residents must be low -and -moderate income persons. Such area needs not be coterminous with census tracts or other officially recognized boundaries but must be the entire area served by the activity. An activity that serves an area that is not primarily residential in character shall not qualify under this criterion. (iii) For each activity determined to benefit low- and moderate -income persons because the activity involves a facility or service designed for use by a limited clientele consisting exclusively or predominantly of low -and moderate -income persons: a) Documentation establishing that the facility or service is designed for and used by senior citizens, disabled persons, battered spouses, abused children, the homeless, illiterate persons, or migrant farm workers for which the regulations provide presumptive benefit to low- and moderate -income persons; or b) Documentation describing how the nature and, if applicable, the location of the facility or service establishes that it is used predominantly by low- and moderate -income persons; or c) Data showing the size and annual income of the family of each person receiving the benefit. 6.1.3 Equal Opportunity Records containing: (i) Data on the extent to which each racial and ethnic group and single -headed households (by gender of household head) have applied for, participated in, or benefited from, any program or activity funded in whole or in part with CDBG Funds.

The CITY will carry out monitoring and evaluation activities, including visits and observations by CITY staff.
