Sec. 225.10  Audits and management evaluations.

    (a) Audits. State agencies shall arrange for audits of their own 
operations to be conducted in accordance with the Department's Uniform 
Federal Assistance Regulations (7 CFR part 3015). Unless otherwise 
exempt, sponsors shall arrange for audits to be conducted in accordance 
with 7 CFR part 3015. State agencies shall provide OIG with full 
opportunity to audit the State agency and sponsors. Each State agency 
shall make available its records, including records of the receipt and 
expenditure of funds, upon a reasonable request from OIG. While OIG 
shall rely to the fullest extent feasible upon State-sponsored audits of 
sponsors, it shall, when considered necessary, (1) make audits on a 
State-wide basis, (2) perform on-site test audits, and (3) review audit 
reports and related working papers of audits performed by or for State 
agencies.
    (b) Management evaluations. (1) State agencies shall provide FNS 
with full opportunity to conduct management evaluations (including 
visits to sponsors) of all operations of the State agency. Each State 
agency shall make available its records, including records of the 
receipts and expenditures of funds, upon a reasonable request by FNS.
    (2) The State agency shall fully respond to any recommendations made 
by FNSRO pursuant to the management evaluation.
    (3) FNSRO may require the State agency to submit on 20 days notice a 
corrective action plan regarding serious problems observed during any 
phase of the management evaluation.
    (c) Disregards. In conducting management evaluations or audits for 
any fiscal year, the State agency, FNS or OIG may disregard overpayment 
which does not exceed $100 or, in the case of State agency administered 
programs, does not exceed the amount established by State law, 
regulations or procedures as a minimum for which claims will be made for 
State losses generally. No overpayment shall be disregarded, however, 
when there are unpaid claims for the same fiscal year from which the 
overpayment can be deducted or when there is substantial evidence of 
violation of criminal law or civil fraud statutes.
