Grant Compliance and Oversight

Grants Compliance and Oversight

Managing grant compliance is a complex task, requiring rigorous oversight, accountability, and strategic planning. Federal and state agencies rely on grant funding to support critical programs, and ensuring compliance with both programmatic and financial requirements is essential. At Myers and Stauffer, we provide comprehensive grant auditing and consulting services, helping our clients meet compliance obligations while optimizing grant management strategies.

Key Consulting Services

Federal grants provide opportunities for state government agencies to supplement their existing funding streams to achieve their goals and effect positive change in the target sectors and populations they serve. While heavily dependent on the originating statute and/or agency program requirements, states leverage these dollars to support government-sponsored health and human services programs and/or initiatives. To receive a grant, a proposal to fund a specific project is typically required, and recipients are expected to comply with specific terms of the grant and report on associated outcomes.

Myers and Stauffer provides a wide array of grant services from the strategic planning and application process to the monitoring and oversight of awarded or existing grant programs. In addition to strategic planning and drafting the application, our services also include defining approaches to implement and manage the grant, developing policies and standard operating procedures, conducting stakeholder engagement, performing programmatic and financial compliance reviews, reviewing sub-recipient and contractor funding applications, facilitating conversations between the prime recipient and sub-recipients and contractors, and supporting states in the distribution of grant funds.

Key Auditing Services

Managing grant compliance is no simple mandate. Federal grant funding is not without its challenges, but we have worked with our government agency clients to perform compliance audits, program integrity audits, and other operational support services to ensure compliance with both the spirit of the grant intention and the letter of its regulatory requirements. Through these opportunities, we have identified hundreds of millions of dollars of inappropriate payments and recoveries, prevented unnecessary program expenditures, assisted in the development of state reimbursement systems, performed eligibility audits and analysis, defended audit findings from providers’ administrative and judicial challenges, and performed data management and analysis services to assist our clients in better managing their programs.

Diligence, rigor, and discipline define our audit approach. We conduct our work with integrity and accountability, and we exercise care and caution to demonstrate proper stewardship of the trust our clients place in us. Backed by skilled and experienced professionals who meet the highest ethical and compliance standards, we have solid working relationships with our clients, built on foundations of trust we have strived to earn through our history of strong performance and exacting execution.
