Compliance Team

The Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA) was signed on September 26, 2006, and mandates reporting of Federal fund obligations that meet certain criteria.

The FFATA Sub-award Reporting System (FSRS) collects data from Federal prime awardees on sub-awards they make: a prime grant awardee will be required to report on its sub-grants and a prime contract awardee will be required to report on its sub-contracts.

The SPS Compliance Team, Subrecipient Monitoring group maintains Washington State University’s reporting account and is responsible for completing FFATA reporting for all eligible contracts and subawards.

Search for the award at https://www.usaspending.gov/search. All FFATA reports will be visible in the Award History section under the subaward tab.

If any obligations over $30,000 or deobligations are missing from the USA Spending report, please email sps.subawards@wsu.edu. Include the award number and subaward number(s) in your request. 

Please keep in mind that Washington State University is required to report subawards that meet or exceed $30,000 in total obligated funding over the life of the award (including all amendments). This includes deobligations of any amount if the subaward exceeded $30,000 at any point. Subawards that have not exceeded $30,000 in obligated funding will not be reported and will not be visible on USA Spending.
