Audit of publicly funded grants and programs
Why?
Most grants and aid programs financed with public funds include a formal requirement to submit the project’s financial settlement to an audit. This obligation is typically outlined in the grant agreement and is intended to ensure that public money is managed responsibly and in accordance with the approved objectives and budget.
An audit enables verification of whether the expenditures incurred under the project are eligible and whether the project implementation complies with the terms of the agreement and the approved application.
In addition to fulfilling a contractual obligation, appropriate audit procedures help mitigate the risk of mismanagement, abuse, and non-compliance with funding conditions.
