ETA utilizes the data on ETA 9130 to assess the effectiveness of ETA programs and to monitor and analyze the financial activity of its grantees. Pre-designed software is provided to the grantees to reflect the requirements of ETA Form 9130 so that the required data is reported directly into the Enterprise Information Management System (EIMS) by the grant recipients. This data collection format allows ETA to evaluate program effectiveness and to monitor and analyze financial activity, while complying with OMB efforts to streamline Federal financial reporting. The focus of all ETA reporting has been to provide ease and simplicity for the grantees. The specific instruction relating to the required data element is visible at each data entry point. Electronic financial reporting has significantly increased the timeliness of financial reporting.
