What Sponsors Need to Know about the Child and Adult Care Food Program and Summer Food Service Program

From An Administrative Reviewer’s Perspective

Program sponsors face numerous challenges when preparing for an administrative review of their Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and/or Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). The goals of each review are to ensure compliance, identify incorrect payments, facilitate corrective action, and educate for improvement. Myers and Stauffer has been supporting state agencies with their administrative reviews since 2018, and we are excited to share our lessons learned.

With two sessions on the agenda, sponsors can get an inside look at the review process and learn helpful tips and tricks to ensure a fruitful administrative review process for your organization. See below for more information on our sessions and stop by our booth to meet your presenters.
