Report on Summarization of Head Start Grantee Audit Findings

This final report found that training and technical assistance as well as fiscal and program oversight would be helpful to correct persistent deficiencies in grantee internal controls and reporting systems. We are recommending that ACF reevaluate all important aspects of financial management and accountability including technical assistance, financial reporting, tracking audit reports and audit resolution. The ACF generally agreed with our recommendations and has initiated implementation of most of the recommendations.
