Management Views
MDE and the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential (MiLEAP) agree with the finding.
Planned Corrective Action
For part a., MDE and MiLEAP, going forward, will verify all grants will be tracked for the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA), reviewing all systems the grants are awarded from.
For part b.1., MDE and MiLEAP will continue to coordinate with the program offices to improve the FFATA reporting process in order to submit subaward information in accordance with FFATA and other applicable federal guidance. The corrective action will begin on October 1, 2024 with an anticipated completion date of October 31, 2025.
For part b.2., MDE and MiLEAP have completed FFATA reporting using the actual expenditures for the purpose of verifying subrecipients have not exceeded the awarded amounts. To meet the requirements as outlined in 2 CFR 170, MDE and MiLEAP will update the reporting process to include all key data elements, including the net dollar amount of federal funds awarded to the subawardee, including modifications.
