Management concurs with the recommendation and is committed to strengthening internal controls over the grant reporting process to similar overcharges in the future. To address the identified issues, FWCRC will implement the following corrective actions: - Draw Submission Reviews: We will establish a formal review protocol for all draw submissions to verify that expenses have not been previously reimbursed. This will include cross-referencing prior draws and maintaining detailed tracking logs. - Staff Training: Targeted training sessions will be provided to accounting and grants management personnel. These sessions will focus on federal cost principles, allowable costs, and proper drawdown procedures to ensure compliance and consistency. - Oversight and Reconciliation: Supervisory review procedures will be enhanced to include reconciliation of all funding sources prior to draw submission. This will help ensure accuracy and prevent duplication of reimbursements.
