ARRA Compliance Checklist

The Tennessee Comptroller of the Treasury has released a memo entitled “American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Ten Steps to Compliance for Tennessee Counties.” This three page memo is in pdf. format and may be accessed here. The memo includes links to important websites related to ARRA funds and has a compliance checklist. If you have not already heard, ARRA funds, which your county, or one particular office in your county, may have applied for and received, come with a series of accountability and transparency provisions. This helpful memo from the Comptroller’s Office can be used to guide your county toward compliance with these requirements. Compliance with the checklist does not guarantee compliance with ARRA or other monitoring or auditing, however, it will help your county become informed about new requirements and responsibilities. If you have questions about these requirements, the UT County Technical Assistance Service has been working with county governments to help them comply.
