To the Administrator Addressed (TAA) Correspondence
The purpose of this letter is to inform school systems that the Federal Fiscal Compliance and Reporting (FFCR) Division of the 7mÊÓƵ (7mÊÓƵ) will conduct random validations of self-reported data submitted by school systems to ensure fiscal compliance of federal grant programs. The data listed below are subject to validation this school year. Additional data validations may be added.
One way a school system demonstrates compliance with fiscal requirements is by establishing a system of accountability for federal grant funds. An effective system of internal controls must be in place to prevent, detect, and reduce the risks of fraud, waste, and abuse of federal grant funds. The purpose of internal controls is to ensure that school systems provide reasonable assurance that grant objectives have been met as required by federal regulations. As part of its subrecipient monitoring responsibilities, 7mÊÓƵ conducts validations of various school systems’ self-reported data.
The table below provides the deadline for each of the respective eGrants forms and other reports. Any school system can be selected for the data validation(s). 7mÊÓƵ will notify selected school systems to submit documentation in support of their self-reported data based on the timeline below. Each notification will include additional information about the specific validation process.
