Assess whether a grant special condition is being waived de facto (243ed9)

Situation

In an emergency-management shop allocating scarce resources, emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is the evidence after a grant condition OIG says was never monitored. IG response coordinator has to pick Pay or continue or Recoup for this Government Budget and Performance close using emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet.

Decision

IG response coordinator in an emergency-management shop allocating scarce resources must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a grant condition OIG says was never monitored.

Hypotheses to test

• Emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet reads as Pay or continue once a grant condition OIG says was never monitored is lined up to the same Government population.
• Emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is closer to Recoup after a grant condition OIG says was never monitored; Pay or continue would over-claim this Budget and Performance extract.
• Deny is still live in emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet for IG response coordinator in an emergency-management shop allocating scarce resources.
• Emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is missing the fact IG response coordinator needs after a grant condition OIG says was never monitored; stop this Government close.

Analysis required

• Test a single-case exception versus a control gap in an emergency-management shop allocating scarce resources.
• Check notice and appeal timing around a grant condition OIG says was never monitored.
• Trace the audit trail IG response coordinator would produce for oversight.
• For this Government Budget and Performance file, read emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet against a grant condition OIG says was never monitored and write the one fact that would move a grant special condition for IG response coordinator.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Government / Budget and Performance packet (emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a grant condition OIG says was never monitored). The follow-on Budget and Performance action is what IG response coordinator does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
