Reports: Top Management and Performance Challenges

This report identifies three management challenges confronting AmeriCorps in fiscal year (FY) 2024 and beyond:· Improving financial management;· Prioritizing grant fraud prevention and detection in its programs; and· Modernizing and securing information technology.While it does not rise to the significance of a management challenge, we believe that AmeriCorps will be challenged in the future if American Rescue Plan (ARP) funding is not effectively used during FY 2024.

This report identifies management and performance challenges facing the Corporation. We selected these challenges considering past and ongoing audit, review, and investigative work, as well as discussions with CNCS management regarding existing vulnerabilities. We also considered new activities that could pose challenges because of their breadth and complexity.
