This audit must be performed in accordance with program-specific audit requirements contained in Section 200.507 of the OMB Super Circular, program- specific audits, and with generally accepted government auditing standards (Government Auditing Standards).

For fiscal years ending September 30, 2009 and later, all Single Audit reports filed with the Federal Audit Clearinghouse (FAC) will be made publicly available on the internet. The City retains its right to independently audit you. If you are found in non-compliance with these audit requirements, by either the City or any federal agency, you may be required to refund financial assistance received from the City or the applicable federal agency(ies). Each of the City, HUD, Government Accountability Office (GAO) and/or the United States Comptroller General may in its sole discretion audit your records or those of your subcontractors, or both, at any time during the Term or within 5 years after the Agreement ends, in connection with the goods, work, or Services provided under this Agreement. Each calendar year or partial calendar year is considered an “audited period.” If, as a result of such an audit, it is determined that you or any of your subcontractors have overcharged the City in the audited period, the City will notify you. You must then promptly reimburse the City for any amounts the City has paid you due to the overcharges and also some or all of the cost of the audit, as follows:
A. If the audit has revealed overcharges to the City representing less than 5% of the total value, based on the contract prices, of the goods, work, or Services provided in the audited period, then you must reimburse the City for 50% of the cost of the audit and 50% of the cost of each subsequent audit that the City conducts;
B. If, however, the audit has revealed overcharges to the City representing 5% or more of the total value, based on the contract prices, of the goods, work, or Services provided in the audited period, then you must reimburse the City for the full cost of the audit and of each subsequent audit. If the City is unable to make a determination regarding overcharges to City as a result of your not having maintained records as required under this Agreement, you must promptly reimburse the City for some or all of the cost of the audit, as determined in the sole discretion of the City. Your failure to reimburse the City in accordance with this Section 3.3 is an event of default under this Agreement, and you will be liable for all of the City’s costs of collection, including any court costs and attorneys’ fees.
