Defensible Contract Management: Proving Compliance When Auditors Call explains how government agencies can maintain audit-ready contract records and streamline public records requests to handle audits smoothly.

An auditor asks for a contract’s complete history: every approval, amendment, and signature. Or a public records request lands with a tight deadline. In that moment, your process is on trial, not just the contract.

That’s when the gaps show up. Files live across shared drives, inboxes, and old binders. COIs expire unnoticed. Renewal deadlines depend on someone remembering to check a spreadsheet. None of it looks like a problem until someone asks a direct question and the answer takes hours to assemble.

This free OpenGov webinar covers what it takes to keep a contract audit-ready from signature through closeout: what a defensible record needs, how to catch COI and renewal risk before it becomes a finding, and how leading agencies make an audit or records request a formality, not a fire drill.

Learning Objectives:

• What an audit-ready contract file needs at every stage
• How to catch COI and renewal risk before it's a finding
• What documentation gaps turn a routine audit into a scramble
• How to make a public records request fast, not painful
