Government Accountability Office and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-07-12 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In fiscal year 2015, Education awarded more than $4 billion to over 7,000 grantees through some 80 discretionary grant programs. Over the past decade, GAO and Education's Inspector General identified various grants management and oversight challenges, including effectively monitoring grantee performance. GAO was asked to examine Education's oversight of its discretionary grants. This report examines the extent to which Education: (1) consistently applied its discretionary grant monitoring policies, and (2) identified and shared across the department information about the performance of discretionary grantees. GAO reviewed the grant monitoring practices of three of Education's seven principal offices, which together awarded more than 80 percent of discretionary grant funds in fiscal year 2015, according to GAO's review of Education data, the most recent data available. Additionally, GAO reviewed a randomly selected, nongeneralizable sample of 75 official grant files; analyzed federal and Education grants policies and procedures; and interviewed Education grant officials and nine randomly selected grantees.

Book excerpt: This report discusses the program monitoring of discretionary grants awarded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA) Byrne Program and the Violence Against Women Office (VAWO) within OJP. Between fiscal years 1997 and 2000, Byrne and VAWO discretionary grant awards grew, in constant 2000 dollars, about 85 percent-from about $105 million to approximately $194 million. These funds were awarded directly to various organizations, such as state and local governments, either on a competitive basis or pursuant to legislation allocating funds through congressional earmarks. BJA and VAWO, together with OJP's Office of the Comptroller, were responsible for monitoring these grants to ensure that they were being implemented as intended, responsive to grant goals and objectives, and compliant with statutory regulations and other policy guidelines.

GAO was asked to determine (1) the characteristics of institutions eligible to receive grants under Titles III and V and characteristics of students served; (2) any challenges grantees face, and how they spent Title III and V funds to address these challenges; and (3) the extent to which the Department of Education (Education) monitors the financial and programmatic performance of grantees, and uses this information to target its technical assistance.

GAO also interviewed officials from Education and 27 grantee institutions, and conducted financial site visits at other 7 grantee institutions. GAO recommends that Education develop a comprehensive, risk-based approach to target monitoring and technical assistance; follow-up on improper uses of grant funds identified in this report; ensure staff training needs are fully met; disseminate information about implementation challenges and successful projects to grantees; and develop appropriate feedback mechanisms.
