Grant Thornton Public Sector LLC City of Santa Ana I RFQ 21- 093 <br />Revised Proposal <br />2.3 Staff Experience and Resumes <br />Grant Thornton provides a Program Accountability Office (PAO) to assist the City in managing and <br />reporting upon recovery funds. The Program Controls and Standards and Reporting and Data <br />Compliance teams assist the City in documenting an overall recovery framework to guide funding <br />decisions, to identify and optimize grant opportunities, and to assess the eligibility of proposed uses. Our <br />Federal Funding Compliance team establishes and documents foundational internal controls to enable <br />compliance, conducting tests of internal controls on an agreed upon schedule. <br />Below is an organizational chart demonstrating how our team is organized to meet the City's needs. Also <br />included in this section is an experience matrix to concisely summarize our team's experience with the <br />essential duties as outlined in the RFQ and brief background information for each of our team members. <br />As requested in the RFQ, the resumes of all professional staff, detailing their educational background and <br />relevant experience, are supplied in Section 4.6: Attachment F. <br />As discussed in the October 28, 2021 interview, our team is experienced in working with public sector <br />staff with varying experience and knowledge of federal uniform guidance requirements for the <br />management of awards. Our approach to supporting the City's project managers will be tailored to each <br />manager's experience and understanding of federal grants management processes and requirements. In <br />all interactions, our team will prioritize education as part of our communications with project managers to <br />enable increased efficiency in efforts for data gathering and reporting. Due to the size and ambiguity of <br />the federal COVID-19 grants programs, each of our engagement teams have a federal Single Audit <br />subject matter expert attached. Rachel Stushek will serve in this role and has experience developing <br />training for public sector audiences on Uniform Guidance compliance and best practices. Upon the City's <br />request, this training can be delivered in a manner to allow for earning CPEs. <br />Figure 1: Organizational Chart <br />Subject Matter Specialists <br />David Barth <br />State and Loral Grants <br />Compliance <br />RachelStushek <br />Audit Readiness <br />City of Santa Ana <br />Tamara Reynolds <br />Engagement Quality Reviewer <br />Cross -Functional Expertise Support Team <br />Figure 2: Grant Thornton Personnel Experience <br />Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal or quotation. <br />17 <br />
