Assess whether performance measures are honest or vanity (348afd)

Situation

Policy and Grants work in a state agency with a FOIA backlog and a political request now turns on performance measures are honest because a member's question that the program cannot answer from data put subrecipient single-audit exception list in play. IG response coordinator should say what subrecipient single-audit exception list proves.

Decision

IG response coordinator in a state agency with a FOIA backlog and a political request must choose Performance measures are honest / Vanity using subrecipient single-audit exception list after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data.

Hypotheses to test

• IG response coordinator can defend Performance measures are honest from subrecipient single-audit exception list after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data in a Government challenge.
• IG response coordinator cannot defend Performance measures are honest from subrecipient single-audit exception list; Vanity is what the extract actually supports after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data.
• A member's question that the program cannot answer from data never reached the population in subrecipient single-audit exception list — reopen intake, do not close performance measures are honest.
• Two facts in subrecipient single-audit exception list after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data conflict for IG response coordinator; hold this Policy and Grants file.

Analysis required

• 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.
• Map eligibility, appropriation, and program rules in subrecipient single-audit exception list after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data.
• For this Government Policy and Grants file, read subrecipient single-audit exception list against a member's question that the program cannot answer from data and write the one fact that would move performance measures are honest for IG response coordinator.

Recommendation

Choose Performance measures are honest / Vanity on this Government / Policy and Grants packet (subrecipient single-audit exception list after a member's question that the program cannot answer from data). The follow-on Policy and Grants action is what IG response coordinator does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
