This item concerns the reimbursement of overhead and administrative costs for grant recipients. It states that any multipliers used for fringe benefits, overhead, indirect, or general administrative rates must be supported by an audit. If a grant recipient's charged rates exceed those supported by an audit, they will need to repay the excess funds to the Department within thirty days of notification, with interest charged on the excessive amount. This is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. This process may involve audits and financial reviews, potentially creating opportunities for accounting, legal, and administrative support services. Businesses specializing in financial auditing, cost accounting, and legal counsel related to grant compliance could find opportunities by engaging early to understand the requirements and offer their services.
