42 U.S.C. § 300s–4: Reporting and audit…

Summary

Applicants and recipients of Federal allotments, grants, loans, or loan guarantees for a health facility must file at least annually with the State agency where the facility is located a financial statement in the form the Secretary requires. The statement must clearly show how the facility handled its money during the period and must list the costs of providing health services and the charges the facility billed. Those who get Federal help must keep records the Secretary requires, including how the Federal money was spent, the total project cost, and money from other sources, so audits can be done. The Secretary and the U.S. Comptroller General, or their authorized representatives, may inspect any books, documents, papers, or records related to the Federal assistance. Recipients must also file at least annually a similar report with the Secretary for facilities built or upgraded with the aid.
