Some healthcare providers along with states, universities and other organizations are getting an extra three months to audit their COVID-19 relief aid.
The White House s Office of Management and Budget on Tuesday released guidance with instructions on how to audit money received under its COVID-19 relief distributions, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, or CARES Act. The rules extend the audit deadline, as many had anticipated. Health systems that received Provider Relief Fund grants had held off on auditing that money while they waited for specific rules.
