| Text of Recommendation | We Recommend the Commission work with USDA to revise its quarterly DATA Act reporting assurance statement template to include requirements of OMB M-18-16. In addition:
a) In order to comply with OMB M18-16, we recommend the Commission develop a DQP that covers significant milestones and major decisions pertaining to:
• Organizational structure and key processes governing internal controls for spending reporting;
• Testing plan and identification of high-risk reported data; and
• Actions taken to manage identified risks.
b) To assist in the development of a DQP that complies with OMB M-18-16, we recommend that the Commission refer to the Data Quality Playbook (dated November 30, 2018) formulated by the Leveraging Data as a Strategic Asset Working Group. This document contains DQP outlines with processes and methodologies.
