This item concerns the review of overhead, indirect, and general administrative costs for grant recipients in Santa Rosa County. If a grant recipient uses multipliers for fringe benefits, overhead, indirect costs, or general administrative rates, these must be supported by an audit. If the county finds that the rates charged are higher than those supported by the audit, the recipient must repay the excess funds within thirty days of notification, with interest charged on the difference. This review process is currently under consideration by the Commission Committee. The work involves auditing financial records and potentially recouping funds, which could lead to opportunities for accounting and legal services specializing in grant compliance and financial audits.
