Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a) Audits - The Department reserves the right
				to conduct special audits at any time during normal working hours of funds
				expended under Department grants (e.g., evidence of fraud or abuse). If the
				Department determines that an audit of grant funds will be required for an
				individual company, the scope of the audit will be outlined in the grant
				contract.
b) Monitoring - The
				Department may conduct on-site grant monitoring visits to verify trainee
				employment dates and wages and to ensure that the Grantee's financial
				management system is structured to provide for accurate, current and complete
				disclosure of the financial results of the grant program in accordance with all
				provisions, terms and conditions contained in the grant contract. The
				Department also reserves the right to contact any company participating in a
				multi-company training project funded by this program to verify the information
				submitted by the Grantee on behalf of the participating company.
c) Training Evaluation Report - The Grantee
				must submit to DCEO, within 60 days following the end of the grant period, a
				descriptive written evaluation of the results of the training experience by
				either the company, in the case of single-company grantees, or the companies
				participating in the training project, in the case of multi-company training
				projects. The narrative evaluation report should be based on the measurable
				outcomes or benefits contained in the grant application submitted and approved
				by DCEO. DCEO reserves the right to withhold any future year funding for
				noncompliance with this provision.
d) Reporting Requirements - To receive
				payment for training costs which have been incurred by a Grantee in accordance
				with the Scope of Work and Budget contained in the grant contract with the
				Department, the Grantee shall furnish evidence to the Department of having
				completed training by following either a monthly certification schedule or
				other schedule negotiated by the Department and the Grantee. This certification
				shall be filed on forms provided to the Grantee by the Department. Payments to
				the Grantee are subject to the initiation of an invoice-voucher which shall be
				due to the Department according to the schedule established in the grant
				contract. A project summary report shall be due to the Department either each
				month, or as negotiated, consisting of an analysis of major project activities;
				a listing of clients served, if the project served clients; and an evaluation
				of how the project's operation is related to the objectives of the
				grant.
e) Grant Closeout - The
				Grantee shall be responsible for completing the grant closeout package which
				shall be provided by the Department and identifies the financial status of
				these grant funds. The Grantee, upon submission of the closeout package, or
				within 45 days after expiration of the grant, whichever is first, shall refund
				to the Department any balance of funds, including administrative costs, which
				were unexpended or unobligated at the end of the grant period. In addition, the
				Grantee shall repay the Department for any funds that are determined by the
				Department to have been spent in violation of the grant contract. If the grant
				contract should terminate for any reason, the closeout package shall be due
				within 45 days after the date of termination.
