Engagement
How a Dataapiconnect grant spending compliance review moves from enquiry to final findings pack.
Every review follows the same spine so your team knows what to prepare and when decisions are needed. Timelines flex with grant size; the sequence does not.
Enquiry and conflict check
Tell us the grant name, funder, period under review, and your reporting deadline. We confirm we have no conflicting engagements with the same funder on a contested matter, then propose dates.
Engagement letter
Scope, sample approach, fee, deposit, and delivery format are set in writing. Work does not start until the letter is signed and the deposit cleared.
Document intake
You provide the funding agreement, approved budgets and revisions, ledger extract, bank advices for sampled periods, and prior funder correspondence. We issue a short gap list within three business days.
Fieldwork
Expenditure testing, agreement mapping, and brief interviews with staff who authorised or coded the spend. On-site days are scheduled at your premises or our Central address when paper files dominate.
Draft findings
You receive a draft register. Five working days are reserved for factual comments. We adjust wording where evidence supports a correction; judgement differences are noted, not erased.
Final pack and close
The final PDF and a closing discussion with your finance lead. Remediation items remain your organisation’s responsibility to execute and, where needed, disclose to the funder.
What we need from you
A single named contact, timely document retrieval, and access to the people who can explain unusual coding. Delayed files are the most common reason a review slips past a reporting deadline.
