How many Major Graded Areas (MGAs) are evaluated in a Management Inspection?

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 6

Answer: (B)

The four Major Graded Areas provide a balanced, standardized way to judge how well a unit manages itself and its mission. In a Management Inspection, inspectors look across four key domains: how leadership and governance are demonstrated, how resources and finances are managed, how programs are planned and executed, and how operations and performance are sustained. This four-area framework keeps the evaluation comprehensive without becoming unwieldy, and each area is scored to contribute to an overall assessment. Because the framework is set up to cover these four distinct domains, four is the correct count.
