266.4—Policy.
The DoD Components shall rely on and use financial and performance audits performed by non-Federal auditors under OMB Circular A-128 and independent auditors under OMB Circular A-133 in the oversight of Federal financial assistance provided to State and local governments, institutions of higher education, and other nonprofit institutions. Public Law 98-502 provides that a non-Federal audit of the operations of a State or local government performed under OMB Circular A-128 may exclude public colleges and universities, in which case an audit of the public college or university shall be made in accordance with OMB Circular A-133. The DoD Components, however, may request additional audits of such assistance when required by regulation or to ensure effective use of such assistance as deemed necessary. Any additional audit effort shall be planned and carried out in such a way as to avoid duplication and shall be separately funded.
