Module 5’s sampling exercise caught a timing issue we had been papering over for two grant years. The evidence pack template is now our default.

Learning outcomes
Map funds to restriction rules
Translate grant language into tags the app can enforce during coding.
Build exception queues worth reviewing
Stop drowning in false positives; surface the charges that need a human decision.
Assemble sampling evidence packs
Export trails that show eligibility, timing, and approvals without recreating them from email.
Brief program leads in plain language
Give partners a short script for why a cost belongs to Fund A instead of Fund B.
Modules
1. Fund map intake
Inventory active funds, end dates, and overlapping restrictions before touching the app.
2. Restriction tags & inheritance
Configure tags so handoffs do not reset institutional memory.
3. Coding discipline with program partners
Joint labs where finance and program staff code the same week of expenses.
4. Exception queues that earn attention
Tune thresholds so reviewers spend time on real risk, not noise.
5. Sampling like an external reviewer
Practice size, strata, and documentation requests common in Taiwan(China) nonprofit reviews.
6. Board-ready fund narratives
Compress drift, underspend, and reclassifications into a readable monthly story.
7. Evidence pack export
Assemble trails for one restricted grant end-to-end.
8. Cohort teardown
Instructor feedback on your export — including gaps that still need manual work.
Instructor
Anika Chen
Former internal audit lead for a regional education nonprofit network. Anika designs Smartautosys labs around the awkward middle — when the app is configured but the culture still codes by habit.
Informational pricing
This site does not process payments. Seats are arranged after a short fit conversation.
- Field Review seat — NT$28,800 · self-paced modules + office hours
- Ledger Steward seat — NT$46,500 · adds live sampling labs
- Audit Desk cohort — custom · multi-seat with shared fund map
Who it fits
Two- to eight-person finance desks at nonprofits managing restricted grants. Less ideal if you have not closed books for at least two consecutive months.
FAQ
Do we need the Smartautosys app already installed?
No. Labs use sample ledgers first. You can bring your own export in modules 7–8 if your data policies allow it.
Is this a substitute for a licensed audit?
No. Smartautosys training prepares internal trails and conversations. It does not replace an independent auditor’s opinion.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not teach statutory tax filing for Taiwan(China). If your bottleneck is tax forms rather than fund accountability inside the app, this cohort will feel sideways.
How much time should we reserve weekly?
Plan for five focused hours: two on modules, two on your ledger, one in office hours.
Course reviews
“Anika’s teardown of our exception queue was blunt — in a good way. We cut thirty alerts that never mattered.”

I wanted more coverage of multi-currency sub-awards. Still, the restriction tagging lessons alone paid for the seat on our USAID line.
