WORKFORCE PROJECT MONITORING

The Mississippi Community College Board' monitoring team has organized a schedule for monitoring Workforce Development Projects for each fiscal year. The team will randomly select projects to review.

The monitoring team has the discretion and authority to review all reimbursements associated with any project when financial discrepancies are uncovered in an individual reimbursement. If the monitor observes a pattern of financial discrepancies by a project manager in more than one reimbursement, the monitor at his/her discretion has the option to review all reimbursements in all projects written by the project manager in question.

The monitor at his/her discretion reserve the right to conduct a 100% monitoring review of all projects by all fifteen community colleges at least once every five years. This means three colleges will be monitored 100% in a rotating five year cycle annually. The monitoring process includes reviewing the following:

1. Commodities invoice matching reimbursement requests.

2. Documentation of how expendable commodities are tracked.

3. Equipment invoices matching reimbursement requests.

4. Contractual service agreements with instructors.

5. Evaluations of training by students/trainees.

6. Class sign-in sheets.

7. Demographic information on trainees.

8. Class attendance sheets (dated and signed by instructor).

9. Written documentation monitoring the project (including the instructor's evaluation by local workforce staff and supporting quality assurance documentation). This documentation must be on all instructors that are employed by the college and 10% of the instructors hired by the industry. This documentation must be signed and dated by staff.

10. Request for reimbursement matching the instructor's training hours, rate of pay per hour and fringe benefits (including preparation time and assessment hours).

11. Copy of the project plus modifications and reimbursement documents.

12. A copy of the Memorandum of Agreement between the business/industry and the community college.
