Capacity Boost

Define standards for documenting costs including justifying complex cost decisions and obtaining prior written approvals. Implement controls that prevent unallowable charges on grant projects. 

Identify compliance gaps before they become audit findings. Retro-fit policies, train staff, and monitor controls to meet the internal control standards in the Uniform Guidance. 

Use subrecipient pre-award risk assessments to create smooth post-award administration. Identify and resolve gaps in subrecipient agreements to reduce the risk of noncompliance. 

Establish a schedule preparation process that identifies errors before audit. The Interim SEFA Report is a key step in audit preparedness and offers a preview of what auditors may test in the next Single Audit. 

Gaps in procurement often surface during audit testing - or worse, bid protest and litigation. Create policies and procedures that ensure procurement records are always compliant and audit-ready. 

Even a collaborative, well-written CAP can linger for years. Turn plans into actions with technical assistance and guidance from compliance experts with in-service local government experience.
