Specialist Grant Expertise

Grant reporting requirements can be complex and vary significantly between funding bodies. Our experienced team understands scheme-specific requirements and provides clear guidance throughout the assurance process.

We do more than complete assurance reports. We work alongside clients to help identify requirements early, improve documentation processes and reduce delays during grant submissions.

Our grant audit services can be delivered remotely or on-site, supported by secure document sharing processes that enable efficient information exchange and minimise disruption.

We build strong business relationships and provide pragmatic advice that helps organisations remain compliant while keeping projects moving forward.

Requirements vary by scheme, but an IAR is commonly requested:

• To support grant drawdown claims
• At annual reporting milestones
• At project completion
• Where expenditure thresholds are reached
• As part of ongoing compliance obligations

Early planning helps avoid delays and ensures required evidence is available when reporting deadlines approach.

Some grant schemes require monitoring and reporting after project completion.

We support businesses with Post Completion Monitoring Reports that demonstrate continued compliance and provide assurance against agreed funding outcomes and conditions.
