The Internal Controls Self-Assessment helps organizations evaluate whether the core elements of their grant control environment are in place and functioning effectively. The tool walks users through key areas including control environment, financial oversight, documentation, monitoring and compliance, and corrective action and continuous improvement.

This assessment helps organizations identify potential control gaps before they lead to audit findings, questioned costs, or compliance issues. It is designed to support stronger accountability, clearer documentation, more consistent oversight, and more defensible grant operations.
