Title 2, Part 200 of the Code of Federal Regulation and Section 215.97, Florida Statutes (F.S.) prescribes that the state must account and track financial assistance at a level adequate to establish that such funds have been used according to state and federal statutes, regulations and terms and conditions of the award documents. Financial information recorded in Florida PALM, along with any associated information from Agency Business System are used to fulfill Federal reporting requirements.
