Risk-Based Assessment
The Law
- The Uniform Guidance (Super Circular)
requires all Pass-Through entity to conduct a risk-based assessment prior to making
- awards. (OMNI Federal Circular §200.331)
- To comply with this requirement, the Office of
Career Technical Education will conduct an annual risk assessment of all Perkins recipients.
Required Monitoring Activities
Framework for evaluating risks before applicant receives funding:
- Financial stability
- History of performance
- Reports from single-audit findings
- Applicant’s ability to effectively implement
statutory, regulatory or other requirements
Risk-Based Assessment
The risk-based assessment process is designed to conduct a more thorough review for Perkins recipients with higher risk factors. The risk-based assessment review identifies potential problems that could lead to risks in the accountability, fiscal accounting and grant
- perations.
Purpose and Intent
Provide preventative assistance before mistakes are made Increase efficient use of resources & transparency Reduce, waste, fraud & abuse Ensure that subrecipients use federal funds for the intended purpose
