We Supercharge Oversight of Grant Programs

The Vander Weele Group specializes in grant monitoring and oversight of large-scale grant programs. 

We design turn-key monitoring programs, complete with customized monitoring tools and training manuals. Our process begins with traditional fiscal reviews, but our passion is making monitoring programs meaningful and mission-based: focusing oversight on conditions that affect service recipients in areas ranging from education to renovations. 

To ensure compliance findings are grounded in legal standards, we've analyzed hundreds of pages of legislation and regulatory guidance governing federal grant programs. Our technology tools customize compliance programs based on the latest statutes, regulations, and policies.

We offer complementary means to promote effective oversight: programmatic reviews, forensic audits, investigations, data analytics to detect fraud, and investigative intelligence. Since our founding in 2003, we have employed a powerful blend of expertise to promote operational integrity in an array of large organizations with big missions. 

We would be privileged to support yours.

What We Do

Data Analysis
​Data, ranging from accounts payable to credit card expenditures, can be used to identify suspicious patterns suggesting fictitious invoices, ghost payrollers, excessive credit card spending or improper payments.
Monitoring & Audits
​Keeping an organization efficient, effective, and in compliance with government and customer mandates requires vigilance. It begins by setting and communicating standards.
Investigations
​Each year, U.S. organizations lose an estimated six percent* of annual revenues to fraud and occupational abuse. More often than not, it’s committed by their own employees and vendors.
Intelligence
​Imagine applying best-in-class methodologies of investigative journalism to your business, government, or political challenge – but discreetly.

Engaged in turnarounds or high-stakes systemic change, they are driven to understand the realities of the organizations they run or monitor – and the business relationships that support them. For our clients, embracing reality is not a mere luxury. It’s at the core of how they operate.​
