Performance Audit of the CNCS's Compliance with the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014

CNCS did not fully comply with the DATA Act due to weaknesses in its existing financial reporting system (internal control over source systems) and internal control weaknesses within financial reporting, data management, and data reporting processes. CNCS did not submit complete, timely, quality, and accurate financial and award data for the FY 2017 second quarter. The Corporation continues to grapple with the implementation challenges previously reported in the readiness review, as well as new challenges identified by this performance audit.
