Documentation that satisfies donor audit

Secure grant documentation digitization, centralized access, role-based permissions and compliance-ready archiving for programme delivery.

Field staff reviewing programme documentation

Development organisations are audited on documentation as much as on outcomes. Grant agreements, procurement records, beneficiary data and expenditure evidence must be complete, retained for the period the donor specifies, and producible per project rather than in aggregate.

The difficulty is that this material is generated in the field, across projects and offices, often on paper. Centralising it under role-based access makes donor reporting a retrieval exercise, while giving beneficiary data the protection it requires.

What we usually find

Grant documentation scattered across field officesDonor audits requiring complete evidence per projectBeneficiary personal data held without safeguardsRetention periods varying by donor and grant

Questions

Common questions

Can records be organised by project or grant?

Yes. The classification scheme is normally built around project and grant identifiers, so an audit covering one grant can be satisfied without filtering the whole repository by hand.

How is beneficiary data protected?

Different donors require different retention periods — can that be handled?
