The IRE and NICAR Database Library recently updated the Single Audit database from the Federal Audit Clearinghouse of the U.S. Census Bureau. The database, which covers 1997 to January 2004, contains information on expenditures of federal awards greater than $300,000 a year. Journalists will find this useful for looking at federal grants used by nonprofits and public agencies.
This data contains more detail than is provided by the federal Consolidated Federal Funds Report and the Federal Award Assistance Data System. The audit data looks at spending and includes audits of indirect recipients.
