In response to FY 2022 Single Audit, ABS updated its internal policy to establish and maintain effective
controls over budget to actual expense reviews. Current ABS policy, which was implemented in 2024,
requires grant project managers to review budget to actuals on at least a quarterly basis, and a budget
spreadsheet will be maintained and signed as proof of verification. To ensure consistency and formality in
carrying out this requirement, ABS has begun utilizing a standardized template to facilitate reviews and
track completion by process owners.
