Corrective Action Plan: To address the accuracy and timeliness of our entries into the FFATA system, we will use the USASPENDING.GOV website to assist us in reconciling what has been entered into the FFATA system. This will allow us to ensure that our grant ledgers agree with what is entered into FFATA. This will be a reconciliation completed at least quarterly (following SOV fiscal year quarters) and will be completed by the Deputy CFO or position assigned by the Deputy CFO. We will also implement a process that will have all the steps necessary for a grant award or an amendment to ensure it is posted properly within our internal files and the external systems. This will ensure that new awards and amendments get routed and entered in the FFATA system timely. Our finance team also attended a FFATA training on February 3, 2023 for additional training on the FFATA system. We will look into the Batch upload process which was described in that training.
