ISBE - FY 20 Organizational Risk Assessment System

FY 20 Organizational Risk Assessment System
Prior to full execution of any fiscal year 20 state or federal grant application, grantees must ensure that all Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) requirements are met. Grantees must complete prequalification registration at the GATA portal and complete a Fiscal and Administrative Risk Assessment via an Internal Controls Questionnaire (ICQ).

In prior years, the GATA Programmatic Risk Assessment (PRA) was completed within each grant application. For FY 20, the PRA will be split into an Organizational Risk Assessment and ISBE Grant Specific Assessment. ISBE is announcing the release of the FY 20 Organizational Risk Assessment System. Grantees will complete the FY 20 Organizational Risk Assessment one time; the results will apply to all FY 20 grants. Further, ISBE Grant Specific Assessments will be included in each FY 20 grant. A combination of the results of these two risk assessments will generate the Programmatic Risk Conditions in each grant. Completion of the GATA registration and ICQ as well as the FY 20 Organizational Risk Assessment must be completed prior to submission of a FY 20 state or federal grant.

A summary of the steps that are necessary to fully execute the FY 20 grants are as follows:

• Grantee registration https://grants.illinois.gov/portal/ and completion of the Internal Controls Questionnaire (ICQ).
• Complete and submit the new FY 20 Organizational Risk Assessment via IWAS.
• School Districts Only: Complete and submit the Consolidated District Plan.
• Submission of FY 20 grant applications to ISBE.
• Review and approval by respective ISBE program area.
