Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I, Part I, Line 2 Monitoring of grant funds: SSFC monitors NCPC funded service providers annually to ensure compliance with contracts. Programmatic monitoring begins by meeting with the service provider and reviewing the contract activity description for accuracy and completeness. During this interview the service provider can explain how the program meets the requirements in the contract activity description. This is also when the service provider and SSFC staff will review any pertinent policy and procedure including any application processes, eligibility determination, or qualifications for payments of grants, incentives, etc. Any use of funds for grants, incentives, stipends scholarships, or positions must be listed in the contract activity description and documentation is reviewed for compliance. Service providers are then given an outline of documentation they will need to provide confirming that all services listed in the contract activity description have been provided and that the program is in alignment with their own policy and procedure Once the documentation is submitted SSFC will begin the review process and complete a monitoring worksheet. This worksheet breaks down which area of the CAD is being reviewed, the correlating policy and procedure, the documentation provided, and whether there are any recommendations, concerns, or findings. If there is a finding the service provider will be asked to complete a Corrective Action Plan to address the findings and provide a plan for how they will be corrected. Once the monitoring worksheet is reviewed with the service provider a final monitoring report is provided to the service provider as well as SSFC CEO.
