Corrective Action Plan: The Organization recognizes that the Project Grant Report was filed after the February 1, 2024, due date. The delay in filing the Project Financial Report was primarily due to the transition of the grant from TCF to HFO. This transition involved several administrative and procedural changes that impacted the timely submission of the report. To address this issue and prevent future occurrences, the following corrective actions will be implemented:
1. Review and Update Procedures: The Organization will review and update its financial reporting procedures to ensure timely submission of all reports.
2. Training and Communication: All relevant staff will receive training on the updated procedures and the importance of adhering to deadlines. Regular communication will be maintained to reinforce these standards.
3. Monitoring: Staff will review the current report monitoring system to track the progress of financial report preparation and submission and update as needed.
By implementing these corrective actions, the Organization aims to ensure timely and accurate financial reporting in the future.
