a. A/OPCs and CPMs must complete semi-annual reviews within IOD to ensure adherence to internal controls, facilitate senior management’s awareness of their program’s health, and promote the interdisciplinary communication necessary for successful GPC program operations. Semi-annual reviews will be performed in IOD after the end of the March and September billing cycles. They are a consolidation of the previous six monthly reviews (20 March to 19 September and 20 September to 19 March each year).

b. A/OPC Semi-Annual Review. Level 4 A/OPCs must complete this review once all six prior monthly reviews have been completed. The A/OPC reviews the internal controls summary and inputs requested data for all applicable agents.

c. OA/OPC Semi-Annual Review. Level 3 A/OPCs must complete this review once all Level 4 A/OPCs assigned to them have completed their semi-annual reviews. The Level 3 A/OPC reviews the internal controls summary for their program, concurs with the findings, determinations, and any corrective actions planned or taken, and affirms that they have briefed results to the HA.

d. CPM Semi-Annual Review. CPMs (Level 2 A/OPCs) must complete this review once all Level 3 A/OPCs assigned to them have completed their semi-annual reviews.

e. Semi-Annual Head of the Activity Briefing and Report. The SAHAR report provides HCAs and/or SCOs with a high-level GPC monitoring and oversight summary across their respective GPC program. A/OPCs at each level are required to brief their HCA and/or SCO and obtain their signature on the report, prior to submission to the ODASA(P). See Army GPC SAHAR Instructions. Additional resources are available to support the oversight process, including the SAHAR Report Field Descriptions Guide , IOD A/OPC Monthly/SAHAR Report Line Item Validation Using Access Online, and the Semi-Annual Head of Activity Review Template.

f. In the event errors are identified, A/OPCs, OA/OPCs, and CPMs should annotate corrections and explain the error(s) encountered in the Notes field of the report (or associated attachments) to help determine whether a system issue requires resolution. The Notes field will also be used to address issues and explain any exceptional circumstances (positive and negative), so they are retained and available for future reference. A/OPCs must attach an electronic copy of the signed report, including all notes and associated documentation, in the Messages tab of the Semi-Annual Checklists in IOD.

g. A/OPCs and CPMs must perform the following actions:

1) Generate the Semi-Annual HA Review Report in IOD. Include the following in the Notes section for all agents under review: summary assessment of findings and determinations, span of control, purchasing and behavior patterns not identified by IOD, appropriate attestations, and any SAHAR issues or data errors.

2) Brief semi-annual review results to their HCA/SCO and summarize program strengths and concerns. Conduct the briefing before completing the semi-annual review in IOD.

3) Certify completion by submitting the semi-annual review in IOD.

4) Obtain the HCA/SCO’s signature on the report.

5) Upload the signed report in the Messages tab of the Semi-Annual Review Checklist in IOD. Organizations with multiple levels will upload the report in the first numbered hierarchy.

h. IOD Reports. A/OPCs can run various reports based upon their role in IOD. These reports assist the A/OPC in identifying GPC program trends, strengths, and weaknesses, and will be monitored and used in conjunction with conducting GPC annual surveillance.
