Received SLFRF funds? Read this.
The SLFRF program is on the federal government's high-risk list. Reviews are increasing as closeout approaches. Treasury OIG has significantly increased monitoring activity. The combination of rapid initial funding, evolving guidance, and approaching deadlines means SLFRF reviews are among the most active and most scrutinized happening right now.
If you received SLFRF funds as a subrecipient, there is a high probability the agency that awarded you the funds will conduct a desk review or site visit. They have a legal right to recover those funds from you if the noncompliance was on your end.
This kit was built by someone who conducted SLFRF reviews. Everything in it applies directly to what you're about to face.
Federal Grant Audit Prep Kit: The Monitoring Visit Survival Kit
You just got the email. Your federal grant is being reviewed. Nobody trained you for this moment. Whether your organization calls this an audit, a monitoring visit, or a compliance review, this kit covers what happens when your funder sends someone to look at your records.
Built by a former federal auditor who conducted 116 monitoring reviews and flagged $21 million in questioned costs. This is the guide I wished I could have handed to every grantee doing good work who just couldn't prove it on paper.
What's inside:
Auditor Request Decoder: 75 standard auditor requests translated into what the reviewer is actually looking for and exactly what documentation closes it. 13 sections covering every area of a federal monitoring review.
First 48 Hours Response Checklist: Exactly what to do from the moment the notification arrives, in order, so nothing gets missed in the chaos of the first two days.
Document Organization Tracker: Pre-built spreadsheet covering every document category reviewers request. Track status, responsibility, and location in one place.
Response Templates: Ready-to-use communication templates for every touchpoint in the review cycle, from initial acknowledgment through final determination response.
Site Visit and Video Call Prep Guide: How to prepare your space, your documents, and your staff before a reviewer walks in or logs on.
Corrective Action Plan Guide: What to do if you get a finding. Includes four fully worked examples covering the most common finding types, including how to address questioned costs.
A single disallowed cost finding can mean returning thousands of dollars. This kit is $97. That's about a half hour of a consultant's time.
30-day guarantee. If you go through the kit and don't find it useful for your monitoring situation, email [email protected] within 30 days for a full refund. No hoops.
If you look for help right now, you usually have three choices:
Federal Regulations
Read 2 CFR Part 200 Uniform Guidance, written by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) that establish rules for federal grants and loans.
Associations
Attend in-depth, hours-long webinars or multi-day seminars that cost thousands. Filled with incredible knowledge, but too broad for the specific moment you're in.
Consultants
Pay high hourly fees for an expert to fix the problem for you. Effective, but expensive for those operating on a budget and no set cost to budget for.
None of these help you respond calmly when an auditor emails and asks, can you support this charge?
From federal auditor to your guide on the inside.
I’ve spent the last 6 years working in the trenches of federal grant compliance. I’ve seen too many good teams struggle with bad paperwork, often forcing them to return funds due to disallowed costs.
I built Grant Admin Toolkit to be the guide I wished I could have slipped under the table to the grantees I audited.
Good Intentions Won't Protect Your Funding.
Throughout my career, I’ve uncovered $21 million in disallowed costs. I have sat across the table from terrified directors and delivered the news:
"I know you spent this money to help people. But you can't prove it on paper. So you have to pay it back."
I watched capable, mission-driven organizations pay back funding not because they acted irresponsibly, but because they didn’t know how to document decisions the way auditors expect.
So I Decided the Switch Sides.
I built Grant Admin Toolkit to show you exactly what auditors look for and how to close the gaps before they become findings. You will learn to spot problems before an auditor does so you can sleep at night knowing your funding is defensible.
Learn the exact red flags auditors look for
Document your decisions so they stand up to scrutiny
Focus your time to prevent findings
Who This Is For
Grant Admin Toolkit is built for nonprofit program coordinators, grant managers, and administrators who handle compliance alongside everything else.
You learned this job by doing it. When a monitoring notification lands in your inbox, you need to know exactly what to do, not dense regulation language or a 300-page manual.
Here's what happens after you buy
You'll receive a confirmation email with immediate access to all files. The Start Here PDF gives an overview of the kit, the suggested order to use it, and direct links to every component. Each component opens as a Google Doc you copy to your own Drive. From there it's yours, editable, and ready to use immediately.
No login portal. No account to create. No waiting.
If you're currently working through an active monitoring review, start with the First 48 Hours Checklist and the Auditor Request Decoder. If you've already received a management letter or a draft finding, go to the Response Templates and the Corrective Action Plan Guide first.
The Investment
A single disallowed cost finding can mean returning thousands of dollars.
A consultant charges $150 to $300 per hour and can't guarantee they know federal monitoring specifically. This kit is $97. That's less than 30 minutes of consulting time, built from the experience of 116 federal reviews.
30-day guarantee. If you go through the kit and don't find it useful for your monitoring situation, email [email protected] within 30 days for a full refund. No hoops.
