SA Responsibility for Records and Reports

4003.1 - SA Responsibility for Records and Reports (Rev. 1, 05-21-04) The SA establishes and maintains basic records and prepares operating reports to reflect essential administrative and fiscal data of mutual concern to the SA and CMS. These records and reports provide: • Evaluation of the effectiveness of program operations; • Analysis of workloads; • Identification of administrative or technical problem areas; • Development and justification of budget estimates; and • Supporting documentation for the expenditure of Federal and State funds. For the most part, the SA responsibility for records and reports, on a continuing or special request basis, is limited to those pertinent to the managing of agency operations and those that reflect the agency’s workload. To the extent possible, these will be designed to fit within the framework of the SA operations. The CMS requirement for a minimum of specific records and reports is not intended to limit in any way the SA fiscal and administrative practices.
