Protecting public trust. Strengthening federal grant compliance.
The Compliance Integrity Program is DC Smith Advisory’s focused initiative to help local governments strengthen compliance systems, reduce audit risk, and safeguard federal funds. Built on Uniform Guidance, GAO’s Green Book, and COSO standards, the Compliance Integrity Program delivers practical solutions that reinforce accountability and capacity where they matter most.
The Initiative: Deliver Sustainable, High-Quality Solutions
Why This Work Matters
The National Picture
Across the U.S., local governments face recurring compliance risks flagged in Single Audits.
In Audit Years 2023 and 2024, federal programs faced thousands of findings that stem from control deficiencies. Material Weaknesses and Questioned Costs are sharply increasing, indicating widespread and escalating issues with compliance and internal controls. Repeat Findings are also high, suggesting ineffective remediation or monitoring.
