Grant Management Services

Under the Uniform Guidance, a cost must be necessary and reasonable for the award, allocable to it, consistent with your own policies, adequately documented and not specifically prohibited. Award terms can add their own restrictions. In practice, most problems come from documentation: payroll charged without time records, or shared costs split without a method. We help you set up checks before a charge is made, not after.

Yes. We start by understanding exactly what the auditor found and why, then help you design a realistic corrective action plan and fix the process behind it. Funders care most about whether the problem will happen again, so we focus on controls your staff can keep running long after the plan is submitted.

The two common problems are drawing cash too early, before costs are actually paid, and drawing too late, which strains cash flow. Both show up in audits. We help you set a drawdown schedule tied to actual expenditures, keep the support together, and reconcile what you have drawn to what you have spent each month.

Yes. If you pass funds to other organizations, you are responsible for monitoring them. We help assess each subrecipient's risk, set monitoring procedures that match that risk, review their reports and audits, and document the follow-up. That protects your organization if a subrecipient spends funds incorrectly.

Only where independence rules permit. An auditor cannot take on management responsibilities or audit its own work. If we are your auditor, we will explain what we can and cannot do, and in some cases a separate advisor is the cleaner choice. Either way, your organization keeps ownership of every grant decision.
