We currently have a large sub-award (>550K) with a foreign, for-
profit company.  Does anyone have any advice on what documentation we
should request to verify their internal controls (for auditing
purposes)?   Is it enough to have a letter from the company's tax
advisor stating that their books are kept within their country's
standards of book keeping?   Are we required to make a site visit to
confirm (field trip!)?

Thanks!
