Audits in Accordance with Uniform Grant Guidance

Uniform Grant Guidance audits are required when organizations expend federal funds above established thresholds. At Atherton & Associates, we perform these audits with a disciplined, compliance-focused approach designed to support accountability, regulatory compliance, and defensible reporting.

 

Our role is to help organizations meet federal audit obligations, demonstrate responsible stewardship of grant funds, and maintain credibility with grantors and oversight agencies.

Why It Matters

Federal funding carries significant oversight and complex compliance obligations. A Uniform Grant Guidance audit is an essential component of maintaining funding eligibility and meeting reporting responsibilities.

 

These audits help organizations:

  • Meet federal reporting and compliance obligations
  • Demonstrate responsible administration of grant funds
  • Identify compliance issues before they escalate
  • Reduce the risk of questioned costs or funding disruptions

Given the technical nature of grant compliance, experience and precision matter.

Our Approach

Our Uniform Grant Guidance audits are performed in accordance with applicable professional standards and federal requirements. We take a structured, risk-focused approach that begins with understanding your funding sources, programs, and compliance responsibilities.

 

We evaluate internal controls over grant administration, test compliance with program requirements, and coordinate closely with management to maintain clear expectations throughout the engagement.
