WHITEPAPER: GRANTS WITHOUT GUARDRAILS

COUNTING $250B IN GRANTS ON SPREADSHEETS

Australian government agencies distribute more than $250 billion in grants each year, with volumes projected to grow steadily over the next four years.

Audit findings over recent years have highlighted persistent weaknesses in public grants administration, including fragmented systems, manual checks, offline spreadsheets, limited visibility, and inconsistent controls.

Brooke’s latest whitepaper, Grants Without Guardrails, explores:

- Why spreadsheet dependence persists

- How system fragmentation weakens accountability

- What modern guardrail-based platforms can change

- How to deliver grants with both speed and integrity

- If you are responsible for grants delivery, digital reform or risk, how you could be better supported.
