Assess whether a subrecipient should be suspended (a8a8fe)

Situation

Grant-compliance officer in a city after an IG report on contracting has one working extract — FOIA search-term and exemption log — after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year. If FOIA search-term and exemption log cannot support a subrecipient should be suspended, the honest Government output is hold.

Decision

Grant-compliance officer in a city after an IG report on contracting must choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold using FOIA search-term and exemption log after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year.

Hypotheses to test

• FOIA search-term and exemption log reads as Pay or continue once a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year is lined up to the same Government population.
• FOIA search-term and exemption log is closer to Recoup after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year; Pay or continue would over-claim this Operations and Emergency extract.
• Deny is still live in FOIA search-term and exemption log for grant-compliance officer in a city after an IG report on contracting.
• FOIA search-term and exemption log is missing the fact grant-compliance officer needs after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year; stop this Government close.

Analysis required

• Check notice and appeal timing around a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year.
• Trace the audit trail grant-compliance officer would produce for oversight.
• Map eligibility, appropriation, and program rules in FOIA search-term and exemption log after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year.
• For this Government Operations and Emergency file, read FOIA search-term and exemption log against a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year and write the one fact that would move a subrecipient should be suspended for grant-compliance officer.

Recommendation

Choose Pay or continue / Recoup / Deny / Hold on this Government / Operations and Emergency packet (FOIA search-term and exemption log after a performance target that was quietly changed mid-year). The follow-on Operations and Emergency action is what grant-compliance officer does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
