Recommendations

Develop and implement a formal process to periodically identify, assess, and document risks, beyond improper payments, that could impact the integrity of TEFAP. This should include a comprehensive assessment of all aspects of TEFAP, including those that would arise as a result of changes in operations due to a significant event.

Document FNS’ response to the risks identified during its assessment. Document and implement mitigation strategies, as applicable.
