Head Start: Comprehensive Approach to Identifying and Addressing Risks Could Help Prevent Grantee Financial Management Weaknesses
In fiscal year 2004, the Congress appropriated $6.8 billion to
serve 919,000 poor children through 1,680 Head Start grantees
nationwide. Recent reports of financial improprieties at a number
of Head Start programs around the country raised questions about
the effectiveness of the oversight provided by the Department of
Health and Human Services' (HHS) Administration for Children and
Families (ACF) in identifying and resolving financial management
weaknesses in Head Start grantees. This testimony discusses (1)
the processes ACF uses to assess the programs' risks, (2) whether
those processes could be improved to ensure the accuracy and
reliability of the information ACF collects on its Head Start
grantees, and (3) whether ACF ensures that grantees with
financial management weaknesses correct those problems in a
timely manner.
