National Park Service Conservation, Protection, outreach, and Education – Assistance Listing No. 15.954 and Research and Development Cluster – Assistance Listing No. 15.608 and 15.945 Recommendation: We recommend management incorporate review control procedures to ensure all costs are approved, within the period of performance, and charged in accordance with UG. Explanation of disagreement with audit finding: There is no disagreement with the audit finding. Action taken in response to finding: During the course of the FY21 Audit TAS was informed that a small number of expenses billed to federal agreements fell just outside the Period of Performance. TAS works annually to ensure that agreements requiring additional work or funding are submitted for modification. During the course of preparing some of these modifications and/or new agreements and submitting them to the federal partners, the process of ensuring that period of performance dates didn’t result in gaps in work for staff assigned was not properly evaluated. Consequently, in order to keep staff actively employed and compensated, some dates were not included in the Period of Performance of stated agreements, causing TAS to fall out of compliance for commencement of work on modifications or new agreements within the approved timeframes. TAS now closely reviews Period of Performance dates in new agreements and/or modifications to ensure we remain in compliance with the approved timeframes while eliminating gaps in work for staff assigned to said agreements..
