Partner and grantee screening for
work in hard places.

Operating where aid is needed usually means operating where controls are tightest. The standard does not ask you to leave; it asks you to know who you are paying, and to be able to show it.

Compliance challenges

What keeps your compliance team up at night.

Downstream partners you do not contract with

A grant to a partner who sub-grants onward extends your exposure past the agreement you actually signed.

Operating in designated jurisdictions

Humanitarian exemptions exist, and relying on one still requires knowing precisely who is on the other side of the transfer.

Donors with conditions attached

A large gift can carry reputational and legal risk in the other direction, and refusing late is far more costly than checking early.

Local staff and suppliers

Procurement in a difficult context is a screening problem with a delivery deadline attached.

Evidence for a regulator and a funder

The charity regulator and the institutional funder both ask, and they ask for records rather than assurances.

Doing it on an overhead budget

Compliance spending comes out of what would otherwise be programme spending, which is a real constraint and not an excuse.
