Government Program Management & Administration
Government programs require transparency, compliance, and effective operations to successfully leverage funding and meet community needs.
EisnerAmper provides assurance, advisory, and outsourcing services to hundreds of governmental clients, including federal, state, local, and county/parish governmental entities, municipalities, public retirement systems, school boards and districts, and more.
We believe in structuring for long-term success, not just a short-term fix. When dealing with “first-of-its-kind" situations, knowing how to implement a long-term solution is difficult, especially when time is of the essence. EisnerAmper professionals merge efficiency and optimization with compliance, considering future audit requirements at the start. As strategic advisors, we provide services to maintain compliance, streamline operations, formulate policies, and maximize resources so governmental entities can focus on providing citizens with the vital services they need.
Who We Serve
- Local governments – counties and municipalities
- State government agencies
- Federal government agencies
- Tribal governments
- Other entities (e.g., nonprofit, education, housing, transportation, etc.)

Government Sector Reporting and Forecasting Services
Effective reporting is essential for past, present, and future operations of any project, but reporting needs are specific to each program and agency. Our process relies on collaboration with your organization to understand the factors unique to your program and to align reporting requirements to fit those needs.
Our project reporting falls into three categories:
Project Status
Real-Time Strategic Reporting
Deliverable Reporting
EisnerAmper’s Government Program Management and Administration professionals leverage real-world experience with programmatic risk and success factors to create a tailored approach to reporting, so you can make data-driven decisions and proactively identify opportunities for improvement. We work closely with program leadership to transfer knowledge and skills, empowering you to manage reporting activities independently in the future.
We provide:
- Dashboard reporting – key performance indicators and insights for stakeholders
- Program timeline, milestone, and status reporting
- Operational reporting (production, forecasting, drawdown, etc.)
- Regulatory reporting
- Budget vs. actual performance reporting
Government Program Controls: Cost, Budget, and Risk Management
Project governance refers to the framework, processes, and structures that guide the planning, execution, and control of a project. We help you establish roles, responsibilities, and decision-making authority so that projects are delivered successfully.
Key elements of project governance include:
- Decision-Making Structures: Clearly defined roles for stakeholders, including project sponsors, steering committees, and project managers.
- Policies and Procedures: Guidelines for project management practices, risk management, and performance monitoring.
- Accountability: Mechanisms to keep team members accountable for their responsibilities and track progress.
- Stakeholder Engagement: Processes to involve and communicate with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle.
- Compliance and Risk Management: Adherence to regulatory requirements and managing potential risks.

EisnerAmper guides and supports you through:
- Subcontractor budget/cost estimate

Program Closeout Services: Transitions and Compliance

We implement program closeout activities with a focus on compliance with funding agency requirements and efficient management. Our clients gain valuable insights from these processes and often reach out to us for help with future grant programs.
