Great Falls Development Authority Corrective Action Plan:
During the pandemic, separation of staff, rapid growth, and increased complexity of our organization proved that some of our procedural systems were no longer adequate. We relied too much on single team members being solely responsible for reporting on some grants or contracts.
We have put in place three measures to ensure that all reports are submitted as required and that all reports are filed with each grant or contract. First, each grant or contract now has at least three staff team members responsible for report submittal and filing, the grant or contract manager, their direct supervisor, and our CFO. Second, all documents concerning each grant or contract will be stored electronically on our server and on our Sharepoint. Third, we have put in place a more robust management structure to handle our rapid growth, have created an Executive Assistant position, and are creating an Accounting Assistant position to properly manage the increased administrative workload.
Our senior management team — Brett Doney, CEO, Jolene Schalper, Executive Vice President, Jana Williams, CFO, and Jill Kohles, Senior Vice President — are responsible for implementing the above corrective action. We anticipate completion of implementation of the corrective action by December 31, 2025.
