Audit process
A transparent sequence for grant spend reviews—so trustees know what happens between the scoping call and the final schedule.
-
Scope against the award
We read the award letter, variations, and claim history. Together we agree the period under review, materiality thresholds, and whether match funding is in scope.
-
Map costs to conditions
Budget lines are linked to eligible cost clauses. Exclusions and prior-approval rules are listed so sampling focuses where clawback risk is real.
-
Sample and test evidence
Invoices, payroll, procurement records, and timesheets are tested against the claim. Gaps are logged with the document that should exist.
-
Draft findings with materiality
Exceptions are rated and explained in plain language. You see the draft before it is finalised for your board or funder pack.
-
Report and remediation path
The final opinion, findings schedule, and fix list are delivered. Optional follow-up supports your next claim or monitoring visit.
