When this support is useful

Your reporting deadline is approaching, but the finance schedule, delivery narrative and evidence are being prepared separately. You need a clear sequence for inputs, review and approval, with a named person accountable for moving it forward.

It can also help when a report has been submitted with a difficult preparation process and you want the next cycle to be more repeatable. We focus on the operating controls; the actual award agreement remains the source for what the funder requires.

What we examine

We look at the reporting date and period, the information needed from finance and delivery, the evidence index, decision ownership and the approval and submission route. We distinguish a draft from an approved report and an approved report from the version actually submitted.

Where the position is unclear, we identify the unresolved gap and the person who needs to resolve or escalate it. We do not invent missing figures, certify the report or give an audit opinion.

Choose your starting point

Use the free assessment to identify priority control areas and generate a plan adapted to your reporting date. The pack includes a branded Excel workbook, an editable register, a trustee briefing and a next-report checklist.

If you want to talk it through, book a free 30-minute call with Antony. No documents are needed for that first conversation. Leave with one agreed priority, a suggested owner and the next action, whether or not you buy.

If you need hands-on help

The £495 Grant Control Diagnostic covers one active grant and a 90-minute working session. It includes a populated register, an obligations and evidence-gap map, an action plan, a written management briefing, an owner walkthrough and a 20-minute follow-up within 30 days.

We agree the grant, required information and written-output delivery date before payment. Any applicable tax is shown at checkout. If a deadline is imminent, we first establish what can realistically be done; the review does not guarantee that a late or incomplete report can be resolved in time.

See the format before deciding

Inspect the fictional example action pack and open the blank branded Excel workbook. Examples show the working method and format, not a claimed client outcome.

Read the service terms and delivery promise. Contact Antony directly if you need to check the scope.
