In municipal grant management, tracking awarded funds is only half the story. The other half? Your match (cost share) contributions.
Under 2 CFR 200.306, match dollars—whether cash or in-kind—must meet the same rigorous standards as grant funds:
- Verifiable from official records
- Necessary and reasonable for the project
- Allowable under federal cost principles
- Not double-counted across awards
- Fully documented (think invoices, payroll, timesheets, valuations)
That means parallel records for both grant and match funds. If it wouldn’t pass an audit for your grant dollars, it won’t pass for your match either.
At B&A, we help municipalities build audit-ready systems that protect funding, ensure compliance, and make every dollar count.
Let’s make your match tracking as strong as your grant strategy.
