Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions Management concurs with the finding. The Department will fully implement the proposed entitywide reporting controls. The Grant Management Bureau will lead the implementation of the following measures to strengthen reporting compliance: • Federal Grant Tracker/Checklist: An existing grant tracking spreadsheet will be utilized to monitor all federal grants and milestone dates, including SF-425 financial reports and progress-report due dates by award. The tracker will be maintained in a shared file accessible to grant managers and analysts. • Automated Reminders: Automated email alerts will be reviewed against the Federal Grant Tracker to ensure all awards are captured and deadlines are met. • Preparer Verification and Supervisory Review: Additional information fields will be incorporated into the Federal Grant Tracker to verify completeness and accuracy of each submission, along with documented supervisory review and approval. • Monthly Compliance Updates: A monthly summary will be presented to executive management, highlighting upcoming deadlines, submission status, and any exceptions. This information will be documented within the Federal Grant Tracker. • Evidence Retention: Supporting documentation, including SF-425 due dates and analyst/manager approval dates, will be recorded in the Federal Grant Tracker and retained for audit and verification purposes. The effectiveness of these measures will be assessed by achieving 100% on-time submissions for two consecutive quarters. We are committed to meeting this objective and ensuring consistent, timely, and accurate grant reporting across the organization. The Department expects to fully implement these measures by December 31, 2025, with implementation oversight assigned to the Chief Financial Officer and Grants Management Bureau Manager.
