Corrective Action Plan

The Organization is taking steps to improve the internal controls over the completion and submission of SF-425 reports to ensure that reporting can be completed in an accurate and timely manner. We recognize the critical importance of timely completion of federal reports mandated by HRSA. To address this challenge effectively, we will develop a comprehensive action plan comprising the following key steps: Resource Assessment: Conduct a thorough evaluation of current resources to identify staffing or technology gaps that may impede timely report completion. Timeline Establishment: Create a detailed timeline for all federal reports, clearly defining each phase of the reporting process with specific deadlines. Role Assignment: Clearly designate responsibilities among team members, ensuring everyone understands their roles and has the support needed to fulfill their responsibilities. Training and Development: Implement training sessions for relevant staff to enhance their knowledge of federal reporting requirements and best practices. Regular Monitoring: Establish a systematic monitoring process to track progress on report completion, allowing for timely adjustments if delays arise. Communication Protocol: Develop a communication plan to ensure ongoing updates and collaboration between all departments involved in the reporting process. By implementing this action plan, we are committed to ensuring that all federal reports are completed accurately and on time. We will provide periodic updates to stakeholders regarding our progress and any adjustments made to our strategy.
