**OIG report number:** A20CA0029
**Recommendation number:** 1.2
## Text
Develop a monitoring framework for the HEERF program that uses a risk assessment process to identify and prioritize significant program risks, and design and implement a risk-based monitoring plan and associated key control activities. The plan should ensure that OPE focuses its monitoring efforts and targets its resources on schools and areas identified as posing higher risks of noncompliance with program requirements, including those related to uses of funds, and on performance outcomes established in alignment with HEERF program objectives, which OPE must also ensure are clearly defined and assessed on an ongoing basis.
