Donor Compliance & Prevention of Disallowed Costs
Protect Every Dollar Before It Is Questioned
NEXUS HCFA supports organizations in preventing disallowed, questioned, or high-risk costs by ensuring expenses comply with donor agreements, regulations, and internal controls.
We help organizations identify risks early, before costs are charged, reported, or audited
Why Cost Eligibility Requires Constant Attention

Disallowed costs rarely result from intentional non-compliance.
They often arise from unclear donor rules, inconsistent interpretation, documentation gaps, or pressure during implementation.

 

Common consequences include:
• Recovery of funds by donors
• Budget reductions or cost disallowances
• Audit findings and management letters
• Damaged donor trust

Once a cost is disallowed, prevention is no longer an option
