Civil Rights Compliance Reviews
Have you ever been through a civil rights compliance review? The purpose of a
compliance review is to determine if the institution of Federal financial assistance
(CACFP funds) is in compliance with civil rights requirements. These reviews do not
occur very often, however, we want you to be prepared should you ever have one.
There are three types of compliance reviews:
1. Pre-award or pre-approval review—takes place before the institution is
approved for program operation.
2. Post-award or post-approval review—conducted after an institution has been
approved to receive federal financial assistance. This review may be done as a
routine part of the program compliance review or as a special in-depth review.
3. Special compliance review—scheduled or unscheduled review conducted for any
of the following reasons: follow-up on previous noncompliance findings, statistical
data indicates a particular group is not participating in or benefiting from the
program, reports of noncompliance, and/or systemic complaints of discrimination.
The following are items checked during a compliance review:
• Whether potential eligible persons and households have an equal opportunity to
participate in the program.
• Whether race and ethnicity data are collected and maintained for three years
plus the current year.
• Whether facilities are displaying the USDA nondiscrimination And Justice for All
poster in a prominent location.
• Whether the nondiscrimination statement is included on all printed USDA
program materials distributed to the public and on websites.
• Whether civil rights complaints are being handled in accordance with
procedures.
• Whether the institution has conducted civil rights training for its staff.
Civil rights compliance is an important component of the CACFP Administrative
Review process.
