Proportionality means ensuring the governance structure, risk management and contractual framework for grants programs matches the level of risk, value and complexity of the program. In other words, a one-size-fits-all approach is not always best. Lower value grants should not require the same level of due diligence as high-value or complex programs.
In NSW, the Grants Administration Guide has highlighted the importance of proportionality in governance arrangements for grants management. So, what does this mean for agencies responsible for grants administration?
Our expert panel for this webinar featured OCM National Partner in Grants Management, Sarah Mullins, along with OCM Principals, Nick Sellars and Dr Robert Waldersee.
We explored
What proportionality is and how it applies to grant design.
How governance arrangements can be tailored depending on the size, value and complexity of the program.
