Understanding the Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) Pre-Award Process

Be Prepared for Grant Opportunities! The Grant Accountability and Transparency Act (GATA) provides uniform guidance for all State of Illinois grant programs. All grant applicants and grantees must comply with GATA grant requirements, which includes the following steps before receiving a grant award: • Pre-qualification on the GATA Grantee Portal • Completion of two risk assessments (Internal Controls Questionnaire (ICQ) and Programmatic Risk Assessment (PRAQ)) This session will provide detailed information on all of the steps required as part of the GATA process and you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions. There is no cost, but registration is required. The Illinois SBDC at WBDC is funded in part through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration and the Illinois Department of Commerce & Economic Opportunity. Reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities will be made if requested at least two weeks in advance, please contact (312) 853-3477 ext. 100.
