Sierra Norte Advisory, LLC
Federal Funds and Grant Compliance
Documentation readiness, compliance gap review, and internal controls advisory for federal funds recipients and grant-funded entities.
Who This Serves
Federal funds recipients — including nonprofits, municipalities, contractors, and other entities in Puerto Rico — carry ongoing compliance obligations tied to their grant conditions: documentation standards, procurement requirements, internal controls, corrective action commitments, and reporting timelines. Organizations that are underprepared can face reimbursement questions, pass-through monitoring findings, and compliance exposure that is expensive and difficult to resolve retroactively. Sierra Norte Advisory supports recipients and subrecipients building the documentation discipline and internal controls posture needed to meet those expectations.
How We Can Help
Sierra Norte Advisory provides compliance readiness advisory — reviewing documentation practices, identifying gaps against applicable federal requirements, supporting internal controls documentation, and tracking corrective action progress. This is advisory readiness support — not an audit, attest service, compliance certification, or legal representation. Management retains full responsibility for compliance, financial reporting, and internal controls.
