Claims Originating Under Financial Audit. If the recipient disagrees with the AO’s determination, see 303.3.23 below. The AO must promptly issue a demand letter for payment of such debt. A proper written notice ensures the Agency has a legally enforceable debt. The initial demand letter must include the appropriate information and due process procedures contained in 22 CFR 213.8 - Written Demand for Payment Notice. Even if the debt is or will be the subject of a bilateral amendment or the recipient has agreed to repay the debt, the AO must issue a demand letter as soon as the AO has determined that an actual debt is due. The AO must send a copy of each demand letter to the cognizant billing office immediately upon issuance, and request acknowledgement of receipt. Collection of the debt is the responsibility of the billing office (Mission Controller or M/CFO/WFS). If the recipient requests approval of installment payments, see 22 CFR 213.19 Installment Payments for relevant regulations and procedures.
