Subrecipient Monitoring
What Is Subrecipient Monitoring and Why Is It Required?
Federal regulations require pass-through entities to establish internal controls to
determine risk of non-compliance for each subrecipient, apply an appropriate monitoring
level and ensure that the subaward activities are conducted in compliance with applicable
laws, regulations and sponsor terms and conditions. The state and other non-federal
sponsors may also require similar oversight to be conducted by UNT Health.
Why Subrecipient Oversight Matters: Risks and Institutional Impact
Failure to adequately oversee subrecipient compliance could result in reputational damage to UNT Health, jeopardize current and future funding, and subject UNT Health, the PI and others at UNT Health to legal prosecution. It is the responsibility of UNT Health, as the pass-through entity, to ensure proper stewardship of Sponsored Project funds. UNT Health should expect the same level of diligence in oversight from Subawardees as it applies funds retained and managed at UNT Health.
