3 Agenda The purpose of monitoring Grantee monitoring obligations Approach to monitoring Monitoring process Preparation and staffing The monitoring visit Findings and concerns Monitoring follow-up U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 3
4 Why Monitor? Improve subrecipient and contractor performance Carry out your CDBG program in a timely manner Comply with regulations Improve management quality Solve problems Improve communication Save time Avoid audit hassles
5 Many Moving Parts Implementing grants requires the work of many hands. Most grantees have many programs, projects, and partners. Staff, subgrantees, and contractors. Timelines and milestones abound. Impossible to constantly oversee every aspect of every program or project. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 5
6 What Are the Goals of Monitoring? Assess the quality of subgrantee performance. Determine the level of subgrantee compliance. Address subgrantee management deficiencies and design corrective actions. Improve or reinforce subgrantee performance. Highlight subgrantee accomplishments. Identify subgrantee best practices that might be replicated by other partners. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 6
7 Program Design Good program design is critical to program success. Monitoring verifies that a program was implemented as designed. Provides feedback to both the grantee and the subgrantee. Demonstrates successful program implementation and subgrantee compliance. Documents subgrantee accomplishments. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 7
8 Reducing Risk You, the grantee, do your best to select qualified competent partners. Communicate expectations and obligations. Set up management policies and procedures. Monitoring verifies the competence of your partners. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 8
9 Reducing Risk Are they low risk or do they require technical assistance? Allocate your scarce grant management resources efficiently. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 9
10 Who s Minding the Store? The buck stops here! The grantee is responsible for the implementation of the grant. Federal regulations make this explicit. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 10
11 24 CFR (b) The grantee is responsible for ensuring that funds are used in accordance with all program requirements. The use of subrecipients does not relieve the recipient of this responsibility. The grantee is also responsible for: Determining the adequacy of performance under subrecipient agreements. Taking appropriate action when performance problems arise. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 11
12 24 CFR 85 Subpart J Grantees are responsible for managing the dayto-day operations of grant- and subgrantsupported activities. HUD recommends that grantees monitor subgrant-supported activities to assure: Compliance with applicable federal requirements. Performance goals are being achieved. Grantee monitoring is recommended to cover each program, function, or activity. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 12
13 Monitoring Obligations Do your subgrantees operations comply with all regulations governing: Administration? Financial management? Implementation? Do your subgrantees achieve their performance objectives on schedule and within budget? U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 13
14 The Role of Monitoring Monitoring plays a key role in grantee program management. Monitoring helps grantees to: Stay fully informed concerning program subgrantee compliance with program requirements. Be aware of the extent to which technical assistance is needed. Detect fraud, waste, and mismanagement or situations with potential for such abuse. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 14
15 Ideal Approach to Monitoring Avoid a gotcha mentality that focuses on: Catching subgrantees making mistakes. Nailing them with the blame. Subgrantees are likely to become uncooperative and resentful. Makes your monitoring work more difficult. Does not improve program implementation. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 15
16 Ideal Approach to Monitoring Emphasize positive feedback, what has been done well. Assume your view is not always correct. Create opportunities for dialogue. Develop an appreciation for their perspective. Resolve points of miscommunication or misunderstanding. Identify needs for technical assistance and support. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 16
17 Monitoring Process Not a once-a-year or periodic exercise An ongoing process of: Planning Implementation Communication Follow-up A conversation with the subgrantee U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 17
18 Monitoring Plan Develop a plan at the beginning of your program year. Match available resources with local needs and capacity. Have a plan that is appropriate to your capacity. Rotate the subgrantees selected for in-depth monitoring. Extra attention to high-risk subrecipients Limited monitoring of low-risk subrecipients U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 18
19 High-Risk Subrecipients New to the CDBG program Turnover in key staff positions or a change in goals or direction Previous compliance or performance problems Carrying out high-risk activities (economic development) Undertaking multiple CDBG activities for the first time U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 19
20 High-Risk Activities Acquisition Economic development Housing U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 20
21 Limited Monitoring Low-risk grantees only Strong past performance Continuity in staffing Limited to: Operational area(s) where regulations have changed New activities the subgrantee is undertaking Past concerns or changes in operations Supported by periodic in-depth monitoring U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 21
22 Annual Monitoring Schedule Plan when during the program to monitor each subgrantee. Be aware of the flow and pace of each activity. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 22
23 Annual Monitoring Schedule Early in the year to detect and resolve problems early Undertaking a new activity Involves new procedures or policies Requires a high level of documentation or critical accuracy Late in the year for slow-moving activities Too early, nothing to review U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 23
24 The Monitoring Checklist Components Activity Summary Status of Project Applicable Regulations Documentation Requirements Problems Encountered U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 24
25 The Monitoring Checklist Specify the particular items to be examined Varies by activity area Example: lead hazard reduction in housing Ensures correct items are examined Promotes thoroughness and consistency U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 25
26 The Monitoring Checklist Use standardized monitoring checklists or workbooks on-site. Specifies the steps you will follow to measure compliance. Increases monitoring efficiency and quality. Collects data in a form that facilitates writing up results. See appendices to Chapter 5 of Managing CDBG. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 26
27 Staffing for Monitoring Ensure that staff: Are trained in the ideal approach and overall goals. Are familiar with program rules. Understand correct monitoring protocol. Work with standardized forms and worksheets. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 27
28 Staffing for Monitoring A team approach to staffing the monitoring may be best when: Monitoring comprehensively. Monitoring a range of CDBG-funded activities. Serious problems are anticipated. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 28
29 Staffing for Monitoring When more than one monitor, explain the respective roles of each staff member. Example: One staff person to review fiscal systems and records Another to look at program files and requirements U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 29
30 Preparation Desk Audit Learn about changes in a subrecipient s activities. Identify areas to examine during the on-site visit. Review all the written data you already have. Application for CDBG funding The written agreement Progress reports Reimbursement requests Documentation of previous monitoring U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 30
31 Pre-Monitoring Visit Reduces the likelihood of negative findings after the formal monitoring. Inform the subgrantee about your monitoring procedures. Discuss the information you will be examining. Point out apparent weaknesses in the subrecipient s operations. Suggest how they can be corrected before the formal monitoring visit. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 31
32 Five Steps in a Monitoring Visit There are five basic steps to any monitoring visit: Notification Letter Entrance Conference Documentation, Data Acquisition and Analysis Exit Conference Follow-up Monitoring Letter U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 32
33 The Notification Letter Send a formal notification letter stating: Dates and the scope of the monitoring. Information you will review. Duration of the monitoring. Which of your staff will be involved. Office space you require. Members of the subrecipient s staff you may need to talk with. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 33
34 The Entrance Conference First order of business On-site with the subgrantee Include director and appropriate financial and program staff. Clear understanding of the purpose, scope, and schedule. Communicate the grantee s obligation to determine whether the use of CDBG funds has been appropriate. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 34
35 Documentation Create a written record of the steps followed and information reviewed. Document conversations with subgrantee staff. Annotate the monitoring checklist or worksheet with details. Use to develop monitoring results. Support any findings or concerns. Identify the sources of the information used. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 35
36 Exit Conference At the end of your visit, meet again with key representatives. Present preliminary results. Provide an opportunity for the subgrantee to correct any misconceptions or misunderstandings. Secure additional information. Subgrantee may report on current steps to address deficiencies. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 36
37 Monitoring Results As a result of monitoring, the grantee may reach one or more conclusions: Performance was adequate or exemplary; There were significant achievements; There were concerns that need to be brought to the attention of the subgrantee; Technical assistance was provided or is needed; and/or There were findings that require corrective actions. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 37
38 Identified Deficiencies Where a deficiency has been found, you should categorize it as a finding or a concern. Provide guidance regarding any identified deficiencies. Any conditions which may require serious corrective action need to be identified. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 38
39 Finding Defined A finding is a deficiency in program performance based on material noncompliance with a statutory, regulatory, or program requirement for which sanctions or other corrective actions are authorized. See Exhibit 2-2 of the CPD Monitoring Handbook for sanction authority. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 39

Sanctions or corrective actions are not authorized for concerns. The grantee should bring the concern to the attention of the grantee and recommend actions to address concerns and/or provide technical assistance. U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Community Planning and Development 41
42 Concern Documentation Documentation of a concern should include the condition, cause, and effect as in a finding. The grantee may suggest or recommend actions that the subgrantee can take to address a concern, based on sound management principles or other guidelines.
