Bid Writing

At Ability Consultants, we understand that even with the best intentions, not all grant-funded projects go according to plan. Whether due to unexpected challenges, mismanagement, or other issues, funders may sometimes need an independent, objective investigation to ensure that their grant funds have been used appropriately. Our Independent Grant Investigation Service provides a thorough, unbiased review of how funds have been spent, offering funders peace of mind and helping to maintain accountability and transparency.

When Things Don’t Go to Plan

Grant funders invest significant resources in supporting important causes, and ensuring that these funds are used as intended is critical. When there are concerns or suspicions that grant recipients may not have met their obligations, our team can step in to conduct a detailed investigation. Whether it’s due to incomplete reporting, delays in project delivery, or concerns about financial management, we provide an independent view that helps you determine if the funds have been used in line with the grant agreement.

Objective and Thorough Investigations

Our independent grant investigation service is designed to be thorough, transparent, and fair. We begin by reviewing all relevant documents, including grant agreements, project reports, and financial statements. We then engage with the grant recipients to gather further information and clarification. Our investigation includes an analysis of financial data to ensure that funds were allocated and spent according to the agreed-upon terms. By conducting interviews, reviewing evidence, and examining financial records, we provide a clear and comprehensive report on the status of the grant.

Maintaining Accountability

Our aim is to ensure accountability and compliance while offering constructive recommendations for moving forward. If we find that funds have not been spent as intended, we work with funders and grant recipients to determine the next steps. This could include reclaiming funds, renegotiating project timelines, or taking corrective actions to bring the project back on track.

Protecting Your Investment

As a funder, it’s essential to protect your investment and ensure that your grants deliver real impact. Our independent investigations provide you with a clear understanding of how your funds were used, offering reassurance that you’re making a positive difference.
