Grant Management and Compliance
Federal grants and cooperative agreements demand a unique framework of transparency and public trust. Akiri specializes in 2 CFR 200 (Uniform Guidance), providing the internal controls and reporting infrastructure that non-profits, NGOs, and for-profit recipients need to manage federal assistance awards with total confidence. We protect your funding so you can focus on your mission.
Strategic Governance for Federal Assistance
​Managing a grant is fundamentally different from managing a contract. We focus on the regulations and cost principles that govern assistance awards, ensuring your organization maintains its status as a low-risk recipient.
​
Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) Implementation
We align your financial and operational systems with the Subpart D (Administrative) and Subpart E (Cost Principles) standards. We help you navigate the nuances of allowability, allocability, and reasonableness to ensure every dollar spent is defensible.
​
Subrecipient Risk & Monitoring
Prime recipients are legally responsible for their partners' actions. We implement risk-based monitoring protocols, perform subrecipient audits, and ensure proper flow-down of Uniform Guidance provisions to protect you from vicarious liability and questioned costs.
​
Financial Governance: NICRA Strategy & Audit Defense
Transparency is the foundation of federal trust. Our approach focuses on identifying potential financial and operational risks early, ensuring your project remains within the guardrails of the award’s specific terms and conditions.
​​
NICRA & Indirect Rate Strategy
We assist in the development and negotiation of Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreements (NICRA). We ensure your organization recovers its fair share of administrative overhead, preventing the under-funding of your core operations.
​
Single Audit Preparation & Remediation
Don't wait for the auditor to arrive. We conduct "Mock Audits" to identify gaps in your internal controls and procurement files, providing the remediation needed to ensure a clean finding and uninterrupted funding.
​
Audit-Ready Closeout & Reporting
​​
2 CFR 200 Grant Closeout & Liquidation
For assistance awards, we can guide you on the strict 120-day window for final reporting. We ensure that all Financial Reports (SF-425) and Performance Reports are reconciled, and that all subrecipient awards are closed to ensure a clean final liquidation of the prime award.
​
Indirect Cost Rate Reconciliation
Closeout is often stalled by pending final indirect cost rates. We assist in the preparation of Final Indirect Cost Rate Proposals and the subsequent "true-up" of billings, ensuring that your final vouchers reflect actual audited costs and that no revenue is left on the table.
​
Property & Equipment Disposition
One of the most common audit findings is the improper management of federally funded property. We oversee the reporting and disposition instructions for grantee-acquired equipment (2 CFR 200.313), protecting you from liability long after the program ends.
