| What is Grant Oversight
|
||||
Grant oversight is a process by which distributed funds are protected from waste, misuse, abuse and fraud. Grant Waste: The intangible outcome of inefficient and unproductive programs and services. Can results from issues with governance, training, management, processes, capacity, location, a lack of mission parsimony, and other elements that effect programs and services funded by the grantor. Grant Misuse: Results from the mishandling of grant funds by a grantee that intentionally or unintentionally circumvents policies, stipulations, rules, or regulations. Does not necessarily produce waste but is generally characterized as a grantor breaking the rules that govern how, when, where grant funds are spent. Grant Abuse: Characterized by the intentional exploitation of the grantor and distributed grant funds. Abuse normally includes some form of misuse and waste. Grant Fraud: The intentional use of grant funding for illegitimate reason primarily associated with personal gain. Includes elements of waste, misuse, and abuse. |
