- Robbie Kissinger General Project Overview: Our Federal Grants
Monitoring Senior and Staff help the Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) on high profile financial management and strategic
programmatic initiatives to support FEMA in achieving its critical
mission goals. This includes supporting the strengthening of FEMA's
oversight of disaster grant funds to ensure timely distribution of
funds using sound fiscal processes that decrease the risk of misuse
of funds. Our team is supporting this FEMA program for grants
monitoring and for performing financial testing early in the life
of a grant proactively identify: (1) potential violations of its
financial management policies or applicable federal regulation(s),
and (2) areas where internal controls need to be strengthened. We
are also looking for support to help implement enhanced internal
control processes in Biloxi, MS, to help actively monitor and
validate FEMA grants. FEMA VAYGo Program Overview:
Validate-as-you-go (VAYGo). FEMA implemented the VAYGo pilot
program to test PA and certain other disaster grant expenditures
for Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria in response to
appropriations act provisions and OMB guidance that agencies
implement additional measures to identify and address improper
payments for disaster programs expending more than $10,000,000 in
any one fiscal year. As part of VAYGo, FEMA reviews project
documentation for a sample of funds as they are drawn down by
recipients and conducts testing to verify whether the project
funding was appropriately expended by the subrecipient. One goal of
VAYGo is to identify potential problems earlier, allowing FEMA and
recipients-including PA recipients-to correct or mitigate issues
earlier in the process instead of waiting until grant closeout.
According to FEMA officials that conduct the testing, the primary
goal of VAYGo is to test for ineligible costs, which can serve as a
gateway for the agency to be on notice of issues of fraud, waste,
or abuse in the PA program.
