Customized Support

Over the past 25 years, state agencies across the country have used CNR for staff and sponsor trainings, application approvals, seriously deficient closures, Management Evaluation responses, temporary staffing, emergency sponsor management, and a whole variety of other special projects. We hit the ground running from day one and keep moving forward with experience and efficiency.

Finances

Strengthen sponsor accountability with objective Procurement and Resource Management reviews. We test controls, verify allowability, and produce clear corrective action plans that reduce risk and improve fiscal oversight. If something doesn’t feel right with a sponsor’s finances, we investigate and report on our findings. We also complete extensive VCA work for CACFP sponsors including bank statement reviews.
