The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM ) has a responsibility to <br /> track and monitor the status of grant activity and items purchased to ensure compliance with applicable SHSGP grant guidance and <br /> statutory regulations. The monitoring process is designed to assess a recipient agency's compliance with applicable state and federal <br /> guidelines. <br /> Monitoring is accomplished utilizing various methods including desk monitoring and on=site visits. There are two primary areas <br /> reviewed during monitoring activities - financial and programmatic monitoring. Financial monitoring is the review of records associated <br /> with the purchase and disposition of property, projects and contracts. Programmatic monitoring is the observation of equipment <br /> purchased, protocols and other associated records. Various levels of financial and programmatic review may be accomplished during <br /> this process. <br /> Desk monitoring is the review of projects, financial activity and technical assistance between FDEM and the applicant via e-mail and <br /> telephone. On-Site Monitoring are actual visits to the recipient agencies by a Division representative who examines records, procedures <br /> and equipment. <br /> Frequency of annual monitoring activity: <br /> Each year the FDEM will conduct monitoring for up to 50% of their sub-grantees. It is important to note that although a given grant has <br /> been closed, it is still subject to either desk or on-site monitoring for a five year period following closure. <br /> Areas that will be examined include: <br /> Management and administrative procedures; <br /> Grant folder maintenance; <br /> Equipment accountability and sub-hand receipt procedures; <br /> Program for obsolescence, <br /> Status of equipment purchases; <br /> Status of training for purchased equipment; <br /> Status and number of response trainings conducted to include number trained, <br /> Status and number of exercises; <br /> 27 <br /> I <br />
