Hang tight, we're reading your responses and building a personalized compliance profile just for you.
Assessment Complete
Your results suggest meaningful compliance gaps across multiple areas that could create audit exposure, documentation weakness, or readiness drag if left unresolved.
Your compliance score and recommendations below were calculated by JSGC's expert-designed algorithms based on your self-reported answers. These results are not a legal opinion, audit finding, or compliance certification. For complex findings, consult a compliance advisor.

The main issue is not one isolated weakness. It is the concentration of risk across areas that should work together: internal controls, documentation, procurement, award management, and audit readiness.
Urgency: Emergency
Immediate action recommended on core compliance controls.
Your score of 38 is below the average of 52 for All federal grant recipients (first assessment) (30th percentile). This gap is addressable. Organizations that implement their top 3 priority actions typically improve 15-25 points within 90 days.
A grant is not just money. It is a set of promises, rules, deadlines, and records you are expected to keep straight. Start by understanding what was awarded, what has to be documented, and what is already due.
Initial recommendations focus on your highest compliance exposure and the fastest sequence to reduce operational risk.
Your readiness profile identifies the specific control areas that need attention, ranked by compliance impact and urgency.
Use the results to translate vague assignments into concrete work: what needs a document, what needs a decision, and what needs a deadline.
Put the core grant documents, deadlines, approvals, and supporting evidence in one place so you are not rebuilding the story later under pressure.
You do not need to learn the whole grant system at once. Start with the documents, deadlines, and approval points that could create problems fastest.
These areas carry the highest concentration of compliance risk in your profile. Left unresolved, they are the most likely sources of audit findings, questioned costs, or documentation gaps that delay reporting and award closeout.
Priority 1
Current signal: 6/20
Procurement failures are a common audit finding source and often cascade into documentation and allowability issues.
Risk exposure: Procurement non-compliance findings average $15K-$250K in cost recovery. A single finding often triggers review of your entire procurement portfolio.
Next move: Standardize method selection, competition documentation, and file checklists before the next purchase cycle.
Priority 2
Current signal: 7/20
Award management discipline is what keeps reporting, approvals, and post-award obligations on track over time.
Risk exposure: Subrecipient monitoring gaps expose pass-through entities to $50K-$500K+ in liability for unmonitored subawards.
Immediate stabilization is required across core controls.
Critical Gaps (Emergency): Significant compliance infrastructure is missing. Start here immediately.
These patterns were identified from your answer combinations and org profile. Each represents a compliance risk that section scores alone may not surface.
As a pass-through entity, you bear direct accountability for your subrecipients' compliance. A missing or underdeveloped monitoring framework creates 2 CFR 200.332 findings, one of the most commonly cited pass-through deficiencies in single audit reports.
Open or unresolved audit findings combined with internal controls lacking documented evidence create a high-probability pattern for repeat findings. Auditors specifically test whether prior findings have been resolved, a repeat finding escalates severity and auditor scrutiny.
Gaps across conflict of interest handling, documentation standards, and debarment checks simultaneously create compounding procurement risk. Any single procurement finding often triggers review of your entire procurement portfolio.
