Federal grant compliance is rarely described as a strategic advantage. For most US nonprofits managing subrecipients, oversight feels like heavy-handed administrative policing. But as of August 2026, the regulatory environment demands a different approach. The 2024 Single Audit threshold increase to $1,000,000 fundamentally altered how prime recipients must evaluate downstream risk.<\/p>\n
