Grants Management

Federal grant recipients navigate a complex set of compliance requirements, Uniform Guidance provisions, and logistical challenges.

Federal grant programs can provide much-needed financial relief to state and local governmental entities and not-for-profit organizations. However, grant recipients must administer programs and spending in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Guidance, as well as specific program regulations. These provisions include:

Establishment of adequate internal controls over compliance
Documentation of policies and procedures for determining allowable costs
Accurate financial reporting of grant and program activity
Monitoring of subrecipients and contractors
Implementation of anti-fraud, waste, and abuse processes

The risks of non-compliance include the loss of available funding, the cost of resources necessary to address audit findings and implement corrective measures, financial loss due to fraud or mismanagement, and reputational damage.
