After your CACFP Program review, the reviewer will send you a findings notice if they discover problems with your records, paperwork, or processes. This notice will outline what needs fixing and give you a deadline to submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP).
Common issues that trigger corrective action requests:
- Missing or incomplete documentation (receipts, meal counts, menus, enrollment forms)
- Financial record discrepancies
- Policy or training documentation gaps
If you don’t respond on time, you could risk having to pay reimbursement funds or even losing your ability to participate in CACFP altogether.
Your Next Steps—Made Simple
- Read the Findings Carefully: Make sure you understand exactly what the reviewer is asking you to fix.
- Gather Documentation: Locate any missing records and double-check for accuracy.
- Draft a Clear Response: Your corrective action plan should explain what went wrong, how you’re correcting it, and how you’ll prevent it from happening again.
- Submit On Time: Don’t miss your deadline—timely submission is critical.
