Section 6 — Post Award Requirements 1 2023 <br />Closeout Cont. • Completing a review to confirm the accuracy of <br />reported information; <br />• Reconciling actual costs to subawards, modifications and <br />payments; and <br />• Verifying the Subrecipient has submitted a final BSIR <br />showing all grant funds have been expended. <br />Records The records retention period is three years from the date of <br />Retention the Cal OES Grant Closeout Letter, or until any pending <br />litigation, claim, or audit started before the expiration of the <br />three-year retention period has been resolved and final <br />action is taken. The Cal OES Grant Closeout Letter will notify <br />the Subrecipient of the start of the records retention period <br />for all programmatic and financial grant -related records. <br />Documents related to equipment purchased must be <br />retained for three years after it has been disposed, per <br />2 CFR 200.313. <br />For indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocation plans, or <br />other rate computation records, the start of the record <br />retention period is dependent on whether the proposal, <br />plan, or other computation is required to be submitted to the <br />federal government (or to the pass -through entity) for <br />negotiation purposes. See 2 C.F.R. � 200.334(f). <br />In order for any cost to be allowable, it must be adequately <br />documented per 2 C.F.R. � 200.403(q). <br />If the State Administrative Agency award remains open after <br />the Subrecipient's submission of the final BSIR, Cal OES will <br />complete any additional BSIR reporting required under the <br />award on behalf of the Subrecipient. <br />Closed grants may still be monitored and audited. Failure to <br />maintain all grant records for the required retention period could <br />result in a reduction of grant funds, and an invoice to return costs <br />associated with the unsupported activities. <br />If documents are retained longer than the required retention <br />period, FEMA, the DHS Office of Inspector General, Government <br />Accountability Office, and pass -through entity have the right to <br />access these records as well. See Title 2 C.F.R § 200.334 and <br />200.337. <br />30 <br />
