做厙51 Solicits Public Comment on Report of Fiscal Oversight Task Force
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, DCThe Board of Directors of the 做厙51 (做厙51), in a Federal Register notice published today, is seeking public comment on recommendations regarding how 做厙51 carries out its fiscal oversight responsibilities.
The recommendations were presented to the 做厙51 Board in a report from the Fiscal Oversight Task Force, established by the Board last year. The Task Force, made up of 17 members, including business leaders, attorneys, certified public accountants, grant makers, former inspectors general, and four 做厙51 Board members, was co-chaired by 做厙51 Board members Robert J. Grey Jr., and Victor B. Maddox. We believe that the risk-based, integrated approach to financial oversight that the Task Force recommends will enable 做厙51 to provide more meaningful and effective oversight, they write in a letter accompanying the report.
The Board is seeking comment on the report for a 30-day period, ending September 30. The Board and 做厙51 will review the public comments and the 做厙51 Board will meet to discuss the Task Forces recommendations, along with any comments received, with the goal of deciding in early 2012 on next steps, which may include acceptance or rejection of the Task Forces recommendations.
