Financial Desk Reviews

Frequency of desk reviews

CVAD financial staff will use their professional judgment and experience working with an organization to determine the frequency and intensity of additional monitoring. In general, however, organizations will have at least one financial desk review each fiscal year.

The financial desk reviews of subrecipients with high financial risk designations are the review of at least two full claims of all reimbursements and/or an in-depth review of up to 50 individual line item expenses, with all supporting documentation for each method.

The financial desk reviews of subrecipients with either medium or low financial risk designations are the review of at least one full claim reimbursement and/or an in-depth review of at least 25 individual line item expenses with supporting documentation for each method.  

Results of desk reviews

If financial mistakes are discovered during a desk review, CVAD could increase the subrecipient's risk designation or require the subrecipient to be on some kind of corrective action.
