Sec.  22.825  Closeout audits.

    (a) Purpose. This section establishes DoD policy for obtaining 
audits at closeout of individual grants and cooperative agreements. It 
thereby supplements the closeout procedures specified in:
    (1) 32 CFR 32.71 and 32.72, for awards to institutions of higher 
education and other nonprofit organizations.
    (2) 32 CFR 33.50 and 33.51, for awards to State and local 
governments.
    (3) 32 CFR 34.61 and 34.62, for awards to for-profit entities.
    (b) Policy. Grants officers shall use their judgment on a case-by-
case basis, in deciding whether to obtain an audit prior to closing out 
a grant or cooperative agreement (i.e., there is no specific DoD 
requirement to obtain an audit prior to doing so). Factors to be 
considered include:
    (1) The amount of the award.
    (2) DoD's past experience with the recipient, including the presence 
or lack of findings of material deficiencies in recent:
    (i) Audits of individual awards; or
    (ii) Systems-wide financial audits and audits of the compliance of 
the recipient's systems with Federal requirements, under OMB Circular A-
133, where that Circular is applicable. (See Sec.  22.715(a)(1)).
