During grant-reporting training, a learner asks about a federal drawdown rule the instructor does not know. What should the instructor do?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
A made-up drawdown rule is a gift-wrapped audit finding. Park the question, get the answer from finance, and bring it back. Finding out later beats a confident guess every time.
Full Explanation
Inquiries that exceed the instructor's expertise are parked and referred, then followed up. A federal drawdown rule belongs with finance, not with speculation or an invented percentage. Telling staff the rule does not matter is also incorrect when grant reporting is the course. Parking-plus-follow-up protects learners and the city's grant compliance.
