Within the multi-year renewal context of this contract, the College will look to update policies and procedures in the first year of the contract as well as identify any high priority areas for review of internal controls related to current operations, reporting and compliance for immediate redress with corresponding briefings and professional development for college staff on same. Each subsequent year of the contract, if renewed, the college is looking to undertake additional reviews of other priority areas for risk and compliance, with the consultant providing guidance and recommendations for the continuous improvement of WCC’s grant policies and procedures.

WCC will only consider proposers that have a minimum of ten (10) years’ experience assisting higher education institutions with grant compliance. Consultants should have an advanced degree, which may be a JD, MBA, PhD, EdD or other related degree with a significant record of accomplishment in grant compliance in higher education (and public community college) settings.
