Department of Grant Compliance and Administration 2024-2025 Risk Assessment Status Designations Announced

The Department of Grant Compliance and Administration conducts an Annual Federal Fiscal Risk Assessment of sub-recipients to evaluate and mitigate the risk of non-compliance as required by federal grant regulations. Based on the outcome of the annual risk assessment, sub-recipients are assigned a risk status of low, medium, or high, which is evaluated annually. The risk level is primarily utilized to determine the agency’s fiscal monitoring plan for federal grant programs. Note that TEA monitors LEAs from all risk levels.

LEA administrators with current, active Smartsheet access to other TEA WorkApps (EDGAR, FPC, ESSER Compliance, etc.) will be able to view the Risk Assessment WorkApp. For requests to add or remove users, contact Frank Baca, System Automation Analyst, at Frank.Baca@tea.texas.gov.
