Where scrutiny matters

From irrigation pipe to breeding stock, every rand needs a reason.

A funding application can be ambitious and still be fundable. Our task is to separate supported costs from vague allowances, duplicate quantities and prices that do not reflect the intended farm.

We work with agricultural funders, grant administrators, development programmes and applicants who need an impartial review of proposed capital and operating expenditure.

Flagship engagement

Agricultural application expense verification audit

We reconcile the application budget against supplier quotations, production plans, farm scale and stated funding rules. Each finding is classified so decision-makers can distinguish a missing document from a material concern.

  • Line-by-line budget and quotation testing
  • Supplier, price and quantity reasonableness checks
  • Duplicate, excluded and unsupported cost identification
  • Signed report with an exceptions schedule

Post-award expenditure check

Verification that released agricultural funds were spent on approved items and supported by valid payment and receipt evidence.
