Are States Ready to Manage Federal Grant Funds? (January 2010)
The $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) presented an unprecedented opportunity for states and their respective agencies to receive federal funding.

This posed new challenges for state administrations across the entire life cycle of grants management, from application through receipt through closeout. This paper presents six key findings from a survey conducted by Accenture and NASACT asking state comptrollers about their current federal grants management practices.
