A training and certification platform for grant compliance teams. Staff learn the federal rules by doing — real audit scenarios, live team drills, and your own policies built in. Everything grounded in the actual text of 2 CFR 200.
Master Federal Grant Compliance Before the Audit Finds You

Difficulty adjusts in real time based on performance. Staff train on their actual weak spots, not generic quizzes.
Run real audit scenarios with your whole team at once — subrecipient monitoring, procurement challenges, cost allocation disputes. Built for groups, not just individuals.
Upload your own procurement manuals and subaward agreements. Staff train against the actual documents they use — the platform flags where your policy and federal rules align or conflict.
Verifiable certificates with full audit trails per staff member. Documented evidence your team was trained, tested, and certified on the exact regulations that govern your awards.
A real interactive scenario pulled from the platform's 21,000+ vault. This is the substance — not a quiz, but applied reasoning against verbatim federal text.
A county purchasing agent solicits quotes for a $45,000 IT services contract. She awards the contract to her brother's firm without publicizing the opportunity. Read the clause below and highlight the sentence that was violated.
(c) The non-Federal entity must maintain written standards of conduct covering conflicts of interest and govern the actions taken in the selection, award, and administration of Federal awards. (1) No employee, officer, or agent may participate in the selection, award, or administration of a Federal award if a real or apparent conflict of interest would be involved.
Answer
The agent violated the conflict-of-interest prohibition in 200.318(c)(1) by awarding to a family member without recusing herself.
Why it matters: 2 CFR 200.318(c)(1) requires written standards of conduct and prohibits participation when a conflict exists. Family relationships create a per se apparent conflict — the agent must recuse, not self-deal.
The platform serves scenarios across 8 interactive formats — including matching pairs, cascading decisions, drag-and-drop, and more in the official exam.
The platform vaults the full 2 CFR 200 syllabus. These are the sections that trigger the most Single Audit findings — and the ones your team will train on.
The platform's 21,000+ scenarios are distributed across this coverage map, weighted by audit-finding frequency so your team trains hardest on what auditors scrutinize most.
Four core surfaces your team will use every day. These are mockups of the actual dashboard — built to give you a feel for the product before your live demo.
Plain-English translation + audit trap + decision tree
Plain English
If you pass federal money to a subrecipient, you must watch how they spend it — risk-assess them, review their audits, and follow up on findings.
Audit Trap
Teams forget to re-assess subrecipient risk annually. A one-time risk assessment at award is not enough.

The live demo walks through each surface with your team's actual compliance scenarios.
The official exam uses 8 interactive formats that test applied reasoning, not memorization. Here are two of them — these are exam-specific formats your team will encounter during certification.
Drag each cost principle on the left to its governing 2 CFR 200 citation on the right. This tests whether your team can identify which rule governs a given cost question.
Answer
All four pairs matched correctly. Each cost principle maps to a specific section of Subpart E (Cost Principles) or Subpart C (Equipment).
Why it matters: Knowing which citation governs a cost question is the foundation of allowable-cost determinations. The platform trains this mapping across all of Subpart E.
These are 2 of the 8 interactive formats used in the official certification exam. The full exam adapts difficulty to each candidate's performance in real time.
A single audit finding can cost more than a year of platform access for your entire team. Training is the cheapest insurance policy in federal grants compliance.
Questioned costs, repayments, and corrective action overhead from a single compliance failure.
Staff hours diverted from mission work to corrective action, documentation, and re-audit preparation.
Every drill, exam, and certification is logged. Prove your team was trained on the exact regulations governing your awards.
One avoided finding pays for your entire team's training for years. The platform doesn't just teach the rules — it documents that your team knows them.
State agencies, counties, and nonprofits flowing funds to subrecipients. Subaward agreements, monitoring, and pass-through oversight.
Cities, counties, tribes, and institutions of higher education receiving federal awards directly. Procurement, cost principles, single audit readiness.
Organizations receiving federal funds through a pass-through entity. Allowable costs, program income, equipment disposition, audit survival.
A compliance director opens a live team drill. The platform presents a realistic subaward agreement with buried gaps — a missing equipment disposition clause, an unallowable cost in the budget, a procurement method that fails federal standards. The team works through it together, flags the issues, and gets instant feedback on what they caught and missed. The full session is logged with an audit trail.
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll tailor the walkthrough to your organization's compliance goals.
