Assess whether emergency allocation criteria are equitable and documented

Situation

Emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet arrived with a member's question that the program cannot answer from data for IG response coordinator. That is a Government Oversight and Records decision on emergency allocation criteria are in a pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit.

Decision

IG response coordinator in a pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is the one a member's question that the program cannot answer from data named, so Pay or continue follows for this Oversight and Records file.
• The population in emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet is adjacent only to a member's question that the program cannot answer from data; Recoup is the honest Government call.
• A pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit already contained a member's question that the program cannot answer from data before emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet arrived; no new Oversight and Records path.
• Provenance on emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data is broken; do not pick Pay or continue or Recoup yet.

Analysis required

• Test a single-case exception versus a control gap in a pass-through grantor after a subrecipient audit.
• Check notice and appeal timing around a member's question that the program cannot answer from data.
• Trace the audit trail IG response coordinator would produce for oversight.
• For this Government Oversight and Records file, read emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet against a member's question that the program cannot answer from data and write the one fact that would move emergency allocation criteria are for IG response coordinator.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Government / Oversight and Records packet (emergency resource-allocation spreadsheet after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data). The follow-on Oversight and Records action is what IG response coordinator does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
