Finding Text

Federal Program: CAREER Dislocated Worker Grant – Assistance Listing Number 17.277.

Cause: The entity did not have sufficient controls in place to ensure FSRS reporting was completed in the required timeframe.

Recommendation: We recommend the entity implement a tracking system to remind staff of the various reports due and respective deadlines. Management’s Response: See Corrective Action Plan.
