    Federal Grant Compliance Requirements for Subawards Handbook
    (South Carolina State Library, 2024-10) South Carolina Department of Public Health; South Carolina Department of Public Health
    Since 2014, Subrecipient funding has come under increased scrutiny from both federal and state regulatory agencies. The rules and regulations pertaining to Subrecipients have not changed much, however, the federal and state monitoring of Subrecipients has. Although DPH has conducted Subrecipient monitoring activities over the years, DPH has had to increase the level of Subrecipient monitoring in response to the increase in scrutiny. In June 2019, DPH created the Grants Compliance Division to oversee all subrecipient monitoring activities to safeguard the agency as well as safeguard our Subrecipients. The Grant Compliance Division’s mission is not to look for errors or to create unnecessary work for the Subrecipient or the Program Areas. The mission of the Grant Compliance Division is to ensure Subrecipients, and Program Areas are following all applicable rules and regulations and being a good steward of federal funds so that they can keep and continue to receive federal funding through DPH.
