Recipients should review the Quarterly Progress Reports for all open activities using the following evaluation criteria:
- Ensuring the subrecipients are making adequate progress.
- Meeting any requirements for matching or cost sharing.
- Spending assistance only for allowable costs.
- Maintaining adequate systems.
- Ensuring the subrecipient is accountable for federal or federally generated resources, such as program income, federally owned property or property acquired under the award.
Recipients must also ensure that subrecipient management costs are validated quarterly. Any action taken to address a deficiency should be noted in the Quarterly Progress Report. The Quarterly Progress Report gives FEMA staff information needed to identify and address problems before they become serious, provide technical assistance or take other appropriate action. In addition, FEMA is also responsible for validating recipient and subrecipient management costs across all open awards.
