DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY ISSUES UPDATED CRF FAQS <\/div>\r\nOn Monday, October 19, 2020, the Department of the Treasury issued updated Coronavirus Relief Fund Frequently Asked Questions<\/a> (Treasury CRF FAQs) to supplement Treasury’s CRF Guidance for State, Territorial, Local, and Tribal Governments<\/a> updated as of September 2, 2020. \r\n

<\/P>\r\nNAFOA sent a letter<\/a> to the Department of the Treasury and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to seek further clarification on the newly added Question 13 within Section B. This question requires clarity related to the status of tribally-owned entities inclusion under the definition of “beneficiaries” for the purpose of the Single Audit Act and 2 C.F.R. Part 200, Subpart F Audit Requirements.\r\n

<\/P>\r\nFor a complete understanding, NAFOA encourages you to review the Treasury CRF FAQs<\/a> in their entirety.\r\n
