Building a grant exceptions log
An exception needs a consequence, owner and next decision.
Grant control topic
Grant governance, exceptions and close-out
Keep decisions, unresolved gaps and remaining obligations visible.
A material exception needs an owner, a next action and a route to a decision. A proposed variation needs the appropriate confirmation. Close-out needs a usable record of what has been submitted and what still remains.
Start with the exceptions log. Use the variation and close-out guides when delivery changes or the funded activity is ending.

Actions should be tied to the operating gap they are meant to close.
Preparing a grant close-out checklist
Close-out requirements depend on the specific funding agreement.
Handing over remaining grant obligations
