Sponsors (grant recipients) must keep the records the Secretary of Transportation requires. The Secretary can ask for records showing how grant money was spent, the total cost of the funded plan or program, and what other sources paid. Records must also help with audits. The Secretary and the Comptroller General may audit or examine those records. If an independent audit covers grant money or the related program, the sponsor must send a certified copy to the Secretary within 6 months after the fiscal year ends. The Comptroller General may report audit results to Congress. The Secretary can require an audit to get a grant and must review record rules every year. They cannot withhold information from a Congressional committee that is authorized to have it.
