How is ARRA Different? Accountability and Transparency Now
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Funds unprecedented effort to jumpstart economy, create or save millions of jobs, and address
long-neglected challenges – extraordinary response to worst economic crisis since the Great Depression
Requires high levels of transparency and accountability so tax payers will know how, when, and where tax dollars are spent
New Levels of Efficiency and Accountability “Rigorous internal controls, oversight mechanisms, and other approaches to meet the
accountability objectives of the bill.” “Enhancements to standard processes for awarding and overseeing funds to meet accelerated
timeframes and other unique challenges posed by the recovery bill’s transparency and accountability framework.”
New Reporting and Heightened Transparency Requirements to Demonstrate Value to the Public On May 8th, 2009, Agencies began submitting financial data to www.recovery.gov” On October 10th, 2009, prime recipients must submit their first report to Agencies, followed by
quarterly reports thereafter

Georgia’s Estimated Recovery Act Funding by Major Programs
ARRA in the State of Georgia
Use of Funds Health, transportation, and education program funding
provided to states and localities account for an estimated 90% of fiscal year 2009 funds.
Georgia’s participation in the three largest health, transportation and education funds is significant through early April.
Awarded grants of $521 million in increased Medicaid Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) funds from Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS), about $312 million drawn down
Apportioned about $932 million in Transportation – Highway Infrastructure Investment by US Department of Transportation – of which no funds obligated. As of April 30, Governor Perdue certified that that the Georgia Department of Transportation plans to spend $374 million on over 100 projects throughout the state.
Allocated about $1 billion of State Fiscal Stabilization Fund monies by the US Department of Education. State fiscal year 2010 budget included $521 million in state fiscal stabilization funds.
Governor Perdue appointed a Recovery Act Accountability Officer, who formed a Recovery Act implementation team which comprises:
Senior management team Officials from 31 state agencies A group to support accountability and transparency,
and Cross-agency teams Sources: Based on Report to Congressional Committees, “Recovery Act: As Initial Implementation Unfolds in States and Localities, Continued Attention to Accountability Issues Is Essential”, Government Accountability Office, April 2009 and http://stimulusaccountability.ga.gov/02/gov/stimulus/home/0,2804,134245182,00.html

Clearly Showing Value of Recovery Funds to the Public is Critical
Five objectives for federal agencies flow down to state and local governments Recovery funds awarded and distributed promptly, fairly, reasonably Recipients and uses of all recovery funds are transparent to the public; public
benefits of these funds must be reported clearly, accurately, and in a timely manner Recovery funds are for authorized purposes and every step is taken to prevent instances of
fraud, waste, error, and abuse Projects funded under the recovery legislation avoid unnecessary delays and cost overruns Programs must meet specific goals and targets and contribute to improved performance on
broad economic indicators
We cannot overstate the importance of this effort. We are asking the American people to trust their government with an unprecedented level of funding to address the economic emergency. In return, we must prove to them that their dollars are being invested in initiatives and strategies that make a difference in their communities and across the country.”

Estimating Jobs Created or Retained is Required by Section 1512, “The Jobs Accountability Act”
March 31 changes to Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) provided guidance for estimating jobs funded by Federal Agency Contracts and similar guidance is in progress for grants recipients Components of the guidance for estimating created or retained jobs are:
Only compensated jobs are to be estimated Recipients should report full-time equivalent (FTE) estimates cumulatively created or
retained using the definition of a full-time schedule defined by the recipient FTE calculations are based on aggregate hours worked to ensure temporary or part
time labor is not overstated Grant recipients will also address the impact on the work forces of sub-recipients using a
method they deem most accurate without creating undue cost or burden First estimate of direct jobs due from recipients on October 10, 2009
© SAP AG 2009. All rights reserved. / Page 19
The primary purpose of the Recovery Act is to create and retain jobs by promoting sound economic recovery. At its signing, President Obama said, “The Act provides a direct fiscal boost to help lift our Nation from the greatest economic crisis in our lifetimes and lay the foundation for further growth. This recovery plan will help to save or create as many as three to four million jobs by the end of 2010.”

Agency Recovery Act plans includeKey Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Federal Agencies presented Plans for Recovery Act programs Agencies will be held accountable for reporting these performance measures For existing programs these performance measures are likely already in use For new Recovery Act programs, prime recipients need to be prepared to gather and report these performance
measures
Existing: Unemployment Insurance Administration State Grants Recovery Plan, Department of Labor Payment timeliness: Percentage of intrastate UI first payments made within 14 days in states with a waiting
week and 21 days if no waiting week Establish overpayments: Dollar amount established for recovery as a percentage of estimated overpayments
that states can detect and recover under state law.
New: Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP) Recovery Plan, Department of Commerce Job creation Expanded broadband access -- Number of areas where service will be made available or improved, and how
many homes and businesses are passed by the network Stimulate private-sector investments High-speed access to "strategic institutions" Encourage broadband demand

6. Ongoing Concerns
Agenda
Concerns About Guidance and Measuring the Impact of Recovery Act Funds Persist
How do states and local officials measure the impact of the Recovery Act? Additional clarity needed on methodologies to estimate the number jobs created and retained Further guidance is needed for measuring the economic and jobs impact where Recovery Act
funds are combined with other federal, state, or local funds
How does government make best use of single audits to provide effective oversight? Single audit process needs to be modified to be a more timely and effective audit and
oversight tool for the Recovery Act Internal controls review are important before significant funds are disbursed
How do states receive information about primary recipients in their state, when the state is not the primary recipient, but has a state-wide interest in this information?
How do states and local officials fund the additional accountability and oversight required by the Recovery Act? Significant declines in the number of oversight staff due to fiscal constraints limit state and
local governments’ ability to ensure proper implementation and management of Recovery Act funds

States May Recover Administrative Costs for Recovery Act Programs
Rationale: Majority of Recovery Act funds are disbursed by States State governments need to build administrative capacity to
meet reporting and other responsibilities under the Recovery Act
States generally receive reimbursements for administrative costs after the fact
How to: Use the State-wide Cost Allocation Plan (SWCAP)
submitted annually to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) for review and approval
May include Recovery Act administrative costs as an addendum plan to SWCAP
Recovery Act administrative costs should not be in excess of 0.5% of total Recovery Act funds received by the State
Alternatives for Administrative Cost Reimbursement: Estimated Costs for Centralized Services – based on
budgeted or estimated costs of service Billed Services – methodology for identifying, recording,
and charging administrative costs
