How BDO can help?

Strategy and planning

Our team works closely with you to identify the overall purpose of the grant in accordance with existing policies and guidelines, and to review the legislative and regulatory framework which exists or needs to be established.

Our team includes experts from various service lines such as consulting, tax, assurance services, digitalisation and risk advisory services. This helps ensure that you are informed about new opportunities, regulatory changes, and other changes which may affect the grants.

Impact assessment

We assist you in analysing the potential impact of the grant. This includes the impact for society, for stakeholders and potential beneficiaries of the grant. This involves:

• Mapping data;
• Gathering and preparing data analysis;
• Identifying relevant stakeholders;
• Conducting in-depth qualitative interviews;
• Performing cost-benefit analysis.

Ongoing support

We provide continuous support during the development of your grant. This may include:

• Determining relevant criteria for grants allocation.
• Adapting legislation and regulations;
• Identifying relevant stakeholder;
• Applying for pre-approval by regulatory authorities if needed;
• Evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of grant distribution keys;
• Providing ‘second opinion’ quality review on the overall scheme.

Strategy and planning

Development of eligibility criteria for applications: Our team works closely with you to understand the purpose and intended use of funding programmes, identify relevant characteristics of beneficiaries, and create the questions and other details to be collected to enable appropriate and consistent evaluation of applicants.

Application

Application process(es) design: Developing and building tools, templates, and related process to solicit and receive applications for funding. This includes developing the technical systems and processes.

Application evaluation: Establishing the processes to review applications and consider both the merit of the scope of work and related impact, and the capabilities of the applicant organisation.

 Ongoing support

Interaction with applicants (including protests and disputes): Our team can provide customer support and a direct interface with applicants – for example to resolve questions on how to use the systems or templates, or clarify eligibility requirements and programmatic considerations. Unsuccessful applicants may want additional information on why their application was not selected.
