NPC Annual Report Template, VA
Form 10–10073
Since 1988, when the enabling
legislation for the NPCs was passed,
annual reports have been obtained from
each NPC and combined into an NPC
Annual Report to Congress. Congress
uses the combined NPC Annual Report
to Congress to monitor the progress of
the overall NPC program it created. The
NPC Annual Report to Congress is also
used by top-level VA executives to
evaluate the program and to recommend
changes where needed. VHA’s
Nonprofit Oversight Board and the
Nonprofit Program Office (NPPO) use
both the combined NPC Annual Report
to Congress and the individual NPC
Annual Report Templates to monitor

and oversee the NPCs. Trend analyses
and other financial information are
analyzed for each NPC and judgments
made about each NPC’s progress,
financial viability, stewardship of
assets, and accomplishments.
NPC Audit Actions Items Remediation
Plans, VA Form 10–10073A
The NPC Audit Action Items
Remediation Plans information
collection is used to review the NPCs’
remedies for audit deficiencies and
recommendations. The major objective
of the information collection is to help
ensure proper corrective action. If any of
the remediation plans submitted are
inadequate, then the NPPO will make
recommendations for sound, workable
remedies.
NPPO Internal Control Questionnaire,
VA Form 10–10073B
The NPPO Internal Control
Questionnaire, or portions of it, will be
used in conducting reviews, audits, and
investigations of the NPCs. The major
objective of the questionnaire is to
uncover weaknesses and lapses in
internal controls. The NPPO will then
make recommendations for improved
internal controls wherever there are
weaknesses or lapses. The questionnaire
also may be used as a voluntary selfassessment by the NPCs.
NPPO Operations Oversight
Questionnaire, VA Form 10–10073C
The NPPO Operations Oversight
Questionnaire, or portions of it, will be
used in conducting operational reviews
of the NPCs. The major objective of the
questionnaire is to uncover operating
problems and areas that need
improvement. The NPPO will then
make recommendations for operations
improvements wherever problems or
opportunities for improvement are
found. The questionnaire also may be
used as a voluntary self-assessment by
the NPCs.
