For organizations that spend federal grant money
Know where you stand under the Uniform Guidance before the auditor tells you.
Plain-English, self-scoring tools for nonprofits, small local governments, school districts and tribes that live under 2 CFR 200. Every checkpoint cites the rule. Every free tool is complete on its own. No account, no email gate.
Single Audit Readiness Check
85 checkpoints across the twelve compliance requirements plus the SEFA, submission and findings follow-up duties. Scores each area Ready, Work to do, or At risk, and builds your document pull-list.
Get the readiness checkFindings Fix-It Pack
For each recurring finding type: the corrective action plan language auditors accept, the policy that closes it, the board resolution, and the evidence file to keep. Pairs with the free check row by row.
Written Procurement Procedures Builder
The document 2 CFR 200.318(a) requires and most small organizations don’t have — generated from your answers, with the current $15,000 and $350,000 thresholds built in.
How the tools work
Each tool comes in two layers. The free layer tells you where you stand: a complete, cited, self-scoring check you can run in an afternoon. The paid layer tells you how to fix it: the judgment part — what the auditor actually tests, the specific way small organizations lose the point, and the written documents that close the gap. The free layer is never a teaser; it is the tool.
The standard behind every page: nothing is published here that has not been read at the primary source — eCFR, the OMB Compliance Supplement, the Federal Register — and cited so you can check it yourself. When the rule changes, the tool is reissued with a new version date.
Why this exists
Most single audit findings are not about doing something wrong. They are about being unable to show, in writing, that you did it right — the procurement policy that was never adopted, the time-and-effort record nobody kept, the subrecipient nobody risk-assessed. The federal government publishes the rules; it does not publish the paperwork. That gap is where small organizations get hurt, and it is the gap these tools are built to close.
Uniform Guidance Playbook is written by a practitioner with fourteen years inside a public agency that lives under 2 CFR 200 as a subrecipient — as a bookkeeper, program coordinator and department director. Questions, corrections and requests for the next tool: hello@uniformguidanceplaybook.com.
Nothing on this site is legal advice, audit advice, or a substitute for your auditor, your counsel or your pass-through entity’s instructions. Federal rules only; state and award-specific requirements may add to them.
