To address the problem and avoid future lapses, we'll take the following steps: Clear Reporting Policies: We'll create straightforward rules for submitting financial reports, like the SF-425, on time and accurately. These policies will outline deadlines, roles, and why accuracy matters. Reporting Schedule: We'll make a calendar that shows when different reports are due. Everyone will know when reports are expected. Who's Responsible? We'll assign specific people to handle each report. They will be responsible for ensuring reports are correct and sent on time. Manager Check: Before sending a report, it will get checked by a manager or a designated person to make sure it's accurate and follows the rules. Training: We'll offer training for those who prepare reports to make sure they know what to do and why it's important. Watch and Fix: We'll set up a system to keep an eye on report deadlines and compliance. If there are issues or delays, we'll act quickly to fix them. Record Everything: We'll keep records of all reports, their preparation, review, approval, and submission. This helps us keep track and prove we're following the rules. By following these steps, we'll ensure that our financial and special reports are always submitted on time and accurately. This will help us stay in compliance with reporting requirements. We'll review and update this plan regularly to make sure our reporting process keeps improving and stays compliant with reporting rules.
