monitoring by the Alliance, as described in this section.
MONITORING
In addition to reviews of audits conducted in accordance with OMB Circular A-133, as revised, and Section
215.97, F.S., (see "AUDITS" below), monitoring procedures may include, but not be limited to, on-site visits by the
Alliance staff, limited scope audits as defined by OMB Circular A-133, as revised, and/ or other procedures. By
entering into this agreement, the provider agrees to comply and cooperate with any monitoring
procedures/processes deemed appropriate by the Alliance for Aging. In the event the Alliance for Aging
determines that a limited scope audit of the provider is appropriate, the provider agrees to comply with any
additional instructions provided by the Alliance to the provider regarding such audit. The provider further
agrees to comply and cooperate with any inspections, reviews, investigations, or audits deemed necessary by any
level of government.
AUDITS
PART I: FEDERALLY FUNDED
This part is applicable if the provider is a State or local government or a non-profit organization as defined in OMB
Circular A-133, as revised.
In the event that the provider expends $500,000.00 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year, the provider
must have a single or program-specific audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-
133, as revised. EXHIBIT 1 to this agreement indicates Federal resources awarded through the Alliance by this
agreement. In determining the Federal awards expended in its fiscal year, the provider shall consider all sources of
Federal awards, including Federal resources received from the Alliance. The determination of amounts of Federal
awards expended should be in accordance with the guidelines established by OMB Circular A-133, as revised. An
audit of the provider conducted by the Auditor General in accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133,
as revised, will meet the requirements of this part.
In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part I, paragraph I, the provider shall fulfill the
requirements relative to auditee responsibilities as provided in Subpart C of OMB Circular A-133, as revised.
If the provider expends less than $500,000.00 in Federal awards in its fiscal year, an audit conducted in
accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133, as revised, is not required. In the event that the provider
expends less than $500,000.00 in Federal awards in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in
accordance with the provisions of OMB Circular A-133, as revised, the cost of the audit must be paid from non-
Federal resources (i.e., the cost of such audit must be paid from provider resources obtained from other than
Federal entities.)
An audit conducted in accordance with this part shall cover the entire organization for the organization's
fiscal year. Compliance findings related to agreements with the Alliance shall be based on the agreement's
requirements, including any rules, regulations, or statutes referenced in the agreement. The financial statements
shall disclose whether or not the matching requirement was met for each applicable agreement. All questioned
costs and liabilities due to the Alliance shall be fully disclosed in the audit report with reference to the Alliance
agreement involved. If not otherwise disclosed as required by Section .310(b)(2) of OMB Circular A-133, as revised,

In the event that the provider expends a total amount of state financial assistance equal to or in excess of
$500,000.00 in any fiscal year of such provider (for fiscal years ending September 30, 2004 or thereafter),
the provider must have a State single or project-specific audit for such fiscal year in accordance with
Section 215.97, Florida Statutes; applicable rules of the Alliance of Financial Services; and Chapters 10.550
(local governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit organizations), Rules of the Auditor
General. EXHIBIT I to this agreement indicates state financial assistance awarded through the Alliance by
this agreement. In determining the state financial assistance expended in its fiscal year, the provider shall
consider all sources of state financial assistance, including state financial assistance received from the
Alliance, other state agencies, and other nonstate entities. State financial assistance does not include
Federal direct or pass-through awards and resources received by a nonstate entity for Federal program
matching requirements.
In connection with the audit requirements addressed in Part II, paragraph 1, the provider shall ensure that
the audit complies with the requirements of Section 215.97(8), Florida Statutes. This includes submission of
a financial reporting package as defined by Section 215.97(2), Florida Statutes, and Chapter 10.550 (local
governmental entities) or 10.650 (nonprofit and for-profit organizations), Rules of the Auditor General.
If the provider expends less than $500,000.00 in state financial assistance in its fiscal year (for fiscal years
ending September 30, 2004 or thereafter), an audit conducted in accordance with the provisions of Section
215.97, Florida Statutes, is not required. In the event that the provider expends less than $500,000.00 in
state financial assistance in its fiscal year and elects to have an audit conducted in accordance with the
provisions of Section 215.97, Florida Statutes, the cost of the audit must be paid from the nonstate entity's
resources (i.e., the cost of such an audit must be paid from the provider resources obtained from other than
State entities).
An audit conducted in accordance with this part shall cover the entire organization for the
organization's fiscal year. Compliance findings related to agreements with the Alliance shall be based on
the agreement's requirements, including any applicable rules, regulations, or statutes. The financial
statements shall disclose whether or not the matching requirement was met for each applicable agreement.
All questioned costs and liabilities due to the Alliance shall be fully disclosed in the audit report with
reference to the Alliance agreement involved. If not otherwise disclosed as required by Rule 691-5.003,
Fla. Admin. Code, the schedule of expenditures of state financial assistance shall identify expenditures by
agreement number for each agreement with the Alliance in effect during the audit period. Financial
reporting packages required under this part must be submitted within 45 days after delivery of the audit
report, but no later than 12 months after the provider's fiscal year end for local governmental entities.
Non-profit or for-profit organizations are required to be submitted within 45 days after delivery of the

applicability of this portion, the Alliance retains all right and obligation to monitor and oversee the

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CIVIL RIGHTS COMPLIANCE CHECKLIST
I.Describe the geographic service area such as a district, county, city or other locality. If the program/ facility
serves a specific target population such as adolescents, describe the target population. Also, define the type of
service provided.
2.Enter the percent of the population served by race and sex. The population served includes persons in the
geographical area for which services are provided such as a city, county or other regional area. Population
statistics can be obtained from local chambers of commerce, libraries, or any publication from the 1980 Census
containing Florida population statistics. Include the source of your population statistics. ("Other" races include
Asian/Pacific Islanders and American Indian/Alaskan Natives.)
3.Enter the total number of full-time staff and their percent by race, sex and disability. Include the effective date
of your summary.
4.Enter the total number of clients who are enrolled, registered or currently served by the program or facility,
and list their percent by race, sex and disability. Include the date that enrollment was counted.
5.Enter the total number of advisory board members and their percent by race, sex, and disability. If there is no
advisory or governing board, leave this section blank.
6.Each recipient of federal financial assistance must have on file an assurance that the program will be
conducted in compliance with all nondiscriminatory provisions as required in 45 CPR 80. This is usually a
standard part of the contract language for DOEA recipients and their sub-grantees, 45 CPR 80.4 (a).
7.Is the race, sex, and national origin of the staff reflective of the general population? For example, if 10% of the
population is Hispanic, is there a comparable percentage of Hispanic staff?
8.Where there is a significant variation between the race, sex or ethnic composition of the clients and their
availability in the population, the program/facility has the responsibility to determine the reasons for such
variation and take whatever action may be necessary to correct any discrimination. Some legitimate disparities
may exist when programs are sanctioned to serve target populations such as elderly or disabled persons, 45 CPR
80.3 (b) (6).
9. Do eligibility requirements unlawfully exclude persons in protected groups from the provision of services or
employment? Evidence of such may be indicated in staff and client representation (Questions 3 and 4) and also
through on-site record analysis of persons who applied but were denied services or employment, 45 CPR 80.3
(a) and45CFR80.1(b)(2).
I O. Particip ants or clients must be provided services such as medical, nursing and dental care, laboratory
services, physical and recreational therapies, counseling and social services without regard to race, sex, color,
national origin, religion, age or disability. Courtesy titles, appointment scheduling and accuracy of record
keeping must be applied uniformly and without regard to race, sex, color, national origin, religion, age or
disability. Entrances, waiting rooms, reception areas, restrooms and other facilities must also be equally
available to all clients, 45 CPR 80.3 (b).
II.For in-patient services, residents must be assigned to rooms, wards, etc., without regard to race, color,
national origin or disability. Also, residents must not be asked whether they are willing to share
accommodations with persons of a different race, color, national origin, or disability, 45 CPR 80.3 (a).
46/48
1'192-9 i-7
CONTRACT AA-M1t!5
12.The program/ facility and all services must be accessible to participants and applicants, including those
persons who may not speak English. In geographic areas where a significant population of non-English
speaking people live, program accessibility may include the employment of bilingual staff. In other areas, it is
sufficient to have a policy or plan for service, such as a current list of names and telephone numbers of bilingual
individuals who will assist in the provision of services, 45 CPR 80.3 (a).
13.Programs/ facilities must make information regarding the nondiscriminatory provisions of Title VI
available to their participants, beneficiaries or any other interested parties. This should include
information on their right to file a complaint of discrimination with either the Florida Alliance or the
U.S. Alliance of HHS. The information may be supplied verbally or in writing to every individual, or
may be supplied through the use of an equal opportunity policy poster displayed in a public area of
the facility, 45 CFR 80.6 (d).
14.Report number of discrimination complaints filed against the program/facility. Indicate the basis,
e.g., race, color, creed, sex, age, national origin, disability, retaliation; the issues involved, e.g., services
or employment, placement, termination, etc. Indicate the civil rights law or policy alleged to have
been violated along with the name and address of the local, state or federal agency with whom the
complaint has been filed. Indicate the current status, e.g., settled, no reasonable cause found, failure to
conciliate, failure to cooperate, under review, etc.
IS.The program! facility must be physically accessible to disabled individuals. Physical accessibility
includes designated parking areas, curb cuts or level approaches, ramps and adequate widths to
entrances. The lobby, public telephone, restroom facilities, water fountains, information and
admissions offices should be accessible. Door widths and traffic areas of administrative offices,
cafeterias, restrooms, recreation areas, counters and serving lines should be observed for accessibility.
Elevators should be observed for door width, and Braille or raised numbers. Switches and controls for
light, heat, ventilation, fire alarms, and other essentials should be
installed at an appropriate height for mobility impaired individuals.
16.Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires that a recipient of federal financial assistance
conduct a self-evaluation to identify any accessibility barriers. Self-evaluation is a four step process:
-With the assistance of a disabled individual/ organization, evaluate current practices and
policies which do not comply with Section 504.
-Modify policies and practices that do not meet Section 504 requirements.
-Take remedial steps to eliminate any discrimination that has been identified.
-Maintain self-evaluation on file. (This checklist may be used to satisfy this requirement if these
four steps have been followed.), 45 CFR 84.6.
17.Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons must adopt grievance procedures that
incorporate appropriate due process standards and provide for the prompt and equitable resolution of
complaints alleging any action prohibited by Section 504.45 CFR 84.7 (b).
IS.Programs or facilities that employ 15 or more persons must designate at least one person to
coordinate efforts to comply with Section 504.45 CFR 84.7 (a).
19.Continuing steps must be taken to notify employees and the public of the program! facility's policy
of nondiscrimination on the basis of disability. This includes recruitment material, notices for hearings,
newspaper ads, and other appropriate written communication, 45 CFR 84.8 (a).

persons with impaired sensory, manual or speaking skills where necessary. Auxiliary aids may
include, but are not limited to, interpreters for hearing impaired individuals, taped or Braille
materials, or any alternative resources that can be used to provide equally effective services, (45 CPR
84.52 (d).
21.Programs/facilities with 50 or more employees and $50,000 in federal contracts must develop,
implement and maintain a written affirmative action compliance program in accordance with
Executive Order 11246. 41 CPR 60 and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended.
