All DHS subrecipients are required to submit either an Audit Letter with the Single Audit report or an Audit Letter stating why a Single Audit was not performed. This reporting requirement is in effect for each fiscal year (subrecipient's fiscal year) in which the subrecipient has a contract with DHS.
Audit Transmittal Letter - Single Audit Report
To help ensure that the subrecipient's audit reports are properly identified, recorded, and processed through the DHS system, an Audit Letter from the subrecipient must accompany the report. This Audit Letter must contain information necessary to identify the contractor and its relationship to DHS.
Information required in an Audit Letter-Single Audit Report includes:
- Agency name as it appears on the DHS contract
