The Agreement Officer Technical Representative (AOTR) Designation Cooperative Agreement Administration letter states that AOTRs’ files are the primary tools for conducting and accomplishing AOTRs’ duties and responsibilities and for documenting staff actions.
Moreover, the letter lists the documents that should be included in the AOTR files, including correspondence between the AOTR and the implementer, copies of financial documents, and actions taken by the AOTR.
In addition, Procurement Executive Bulletin (PEB 2005-06) File Standardization Pilot includes a checklist of various documents that USAID/Washington contracting officers should include in assistance files.
The checklist also includes references to specific laws, regulations, and guidance applicable to each document type. Although the bulletin refers to USAID/Washington contracting officers, the checklist is an example of a good business practice for managing and maintaining implementer files for program review.
