Cash Management Improvement Act (CMIA)

This act which requires applicant to demonstrate that when receiving federal funds, they have either already spent the funds or will spend the funds within three days of receipt. To consider the funds “spent”, the transactions should be recorded in your accounting system and the funds delivered to the intended recipients.

CMIA is a part of our monitoring process and in the event programs fail to comply with this rule, they will be required to return the amount of interest earned to the feds (see EDGAR 80.20 and 80.21for calculation method to determine interest refund); you cannot earn interest from federal money.
