legislation. Staff attends training through DOL and attends the annual California Workforce Association Conferences to stay updated with the most recent legislation and requirements regarding WIA. This is just one example of our commitment to helping the YSPN stay in compliance and in meeting all Federal, State, and locally mandated performance measures. The SAWC also provides training on Common Measures to allow all Service Providers to have a basic understanding of what Common Measures are and how they will affect them individually and as a network. The SAWC will provide all Service Providers with individual exit oversight. Staff will meet individually with each Service Provider to go over exit strategies for each youth actively enrolled on their case load and evaluate which youth are ready to exit the program and how their exit will impact the overall success of the YSPN. The SAWC will train all Service Providers on how to exit and follow-up on their youth in order to comply with federal, state, and local regulations. Staff will use the Navigator data base to provide reports to the Service Providers and inform them of follow-up due dates for each participant at their 30, 60, 1St 2°d, 3`d and 4th quarter follow-up. The Service Provider will also receive updated charts and data informing them of their progress with WIA Performance Measures-individually and as a Network. This will ensure that as a network we stay informed of our planned versus actual goal attainments and that we meet all performance measurements. CUSTOMER SATISFACTION Measuring customer satisfaction has always been an integral part of the YSPN program operation. As the Navigator, the SAWC is responsible collecting and analyzing customer satisfaction for the YSPN. A customer satisfaction survey tool for the youth has been developed for those enrolled in the YSPN (see attachment B). The SAWC will randomly survey participants enrolled and exited from the YSPN during the term of the program. In addition, all customer satisfaction outcomes will be reported to the Youth Council Staff for their review. We are committed to providing exceptional customer service and will strive for continuous improvement utilizing data collected and by sharing this valuable information with all youth Service Providers. FISCAL OVERSIGHT The SAWC is responsible for processing Service Provider invoices and reimbursement requests. It is the responsibility of the SAWC to ensure that all Service Providers understand that the utilization of WIA funds is to be reasonable, allowable and allocable as required by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) circulars, Code of Federal Regulations, EDD Directives and City of Santa Ana policies. The accounting staff provides a mandatory annual training to all Service Providers fiscal staff regarding the necessary requirements for invoicing their program expenses. The Santa Ana WIB is required by federal regulation to conduct a fiscal monitoring of all programs funded by WIA. Onsite monitoring must occur at least once during the program year and includes review of fiscal records as well as policies and procedures. A written report delineating findings will be provided to all providers that will include any needed corrective actions, a timeline for accomplishing the corrective actions and include any follow-up on corrective actions. The SAWC accounting staff establishes a monitoring schedule for visiting each program operator in the YSPN. During the review, financial records are sampled to ensure accuracy and compliance with federal, state and local regulations. Technical assistance is offered when necessary to establish and maintain accurate accounting procedures. SAWC fiscal staff works with the service provider's fiscal staff to resolve any issues that arise from the monitoring. Staff follows up with the program operators to resolve findings and maintain financial records as required by regulations. 11
