Recent audit trends reveal that it’s a serious mistake to think internal controls apply only to the financial/business practices of the grant award. You need strong policies, procedures and practices throughout the grant lifecycle.

If you don’t, it’s all too easy for an audit to find that the way you spend federal dollars qualifies as fraud, waste or abuse. That’s when the federal government can use the False Claims Act to recover their money.

What specific controls reduce the chance that unallowable costs will derail your program and cut off from future grant opportunities?
