§ 600.411 - Audit resolution.

(a) As provided in § 600.308, the cognizant agency shall be responsible for monitoring the resolution of audit findings pertaining to DOE recipients that affect the programs of DOE and one or other more Federal agency(ies). If DOE is cognizant, a cognizant DOE Contracting Officer, as determined by the dollar value of awards with the recipient, will assume this responsibility for the Department. Resolution of findings that relate to the programs of DOE only will be the responsibility of the recipient and DOE. Alternate arrangements may be made on a case-by-case basis by agreement among the agencies concerned.

(b) Resolution shall be made within six months after receipt of the report by the Federal departments and agencies. Corrective action should proceed as rapidly as possible.
