    Financial.pdf
    The U.S. Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) has issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement for assessing financial system risks associated with grant management. The primary goal is to ensure that grantees can manage public funds effectively, adhering to criteria outlined in federal regulations (2 CFR 200 and 2 CFR 2900). Important aspects include maintaining comprehensive accounting records, proper internal control systems, and the segregation of direct and indirect expenses. The application process requires applicants to provide organizational details, including financial stability, any affiliations, and the adequacy of their accounting systems. Grantees must demonstrate their capacity for accurate financial reporting and proper expenditure tracking for each grant. Additionally, Section D addresses potential legal or financial issues that could impact grant management. The announcement also emphasizes the need for independent CPA examinations of financial statements and any prior reviews by government agencies to ensure accountability. This funding initiative underscores the federal government's commitment to ensuring responsible management of public resources by promoting robust financial systems among grantees.
