Financial Pre-Award Assessment of Organizations for Proposed Subawards Greater Than US$150,000

FHI 360 administers a financial pre-award assessment of organizations proposed to receive a subaward. This questionnaire is designed to be administered to organizations in which the proposed estimated subaward life of project value is more than US$150,000. The assessment is to be completed by FHI 360 designated finance staff and only when impractical, the questions may be answered by the organization’s senior finance staff but the individual and overall rating must be assigned by FHI 360 designated finance staff.

The pre-award assessment considers the organization’s ability to: (1) Manage and account for the amount of funds FHI 360 will award, (2) Comply with terms and conditions of the subaward; and (3) Inform the organization of FHI 360’s accounting record expectations and requirements.

At the pre-awards conclusion, observations of the organization’s financial systems are summarized and a recommendation is made. The results of the performance of the financial pre-award assessment are included in FHI 360’s Memorandum of Negotiation document. The pre-award assessment should be conducted early in the subaward process so that the results and recommendations can be incorporated and accounted for in the budget review and subaward, as necessary.

Upon completion, scan and email signed completed PAT to [email protected]. This requirement is MANDATORY. Be sure to copy the CMS’s PMT or local Grant Administrator who worked with the project staff on the proposed subaward.
