Risk and Audit applies standardized child care provider risk scoring methodology to evaluate every enrolled provider using objective, multi-dimensional data, including billing history, attendance trends, and compliance records. Risk and Audit has built-in risk-based child care audit prioritization logic that show which cases carry the highest potential risk. The result is a risk-based inspection scheduling capability that helps direct staff time and resources where they can have the greatest impact.

Risk and Audit is designed to help oversight teams maintain compliance with federal program requirements and demonstrate due diligence ahead of federal and state reviews. By combining federal funding compliance analytics with program integrity monitoring, Risk and Audit flags potential issues — including duplicate payment patterns, attendance anomalies, and documentation gaps — before they become audit findings. The system also supports child care OIG audit readiness by generating consistent, documented audit trails. This makes Risk and Audit a valuable asset for agencies working to strengthen their CCDF program integrity standing and make the most of limited oversight resources.

Standalone child care fraud detection software typically focuses narrowly on payment anomalies in a single program. Risk and Audit takes a broader approach — it's a fully integrated child care risk audit analytics platform that spans licensing, subsidy, and quality programs in one unified view. It combines child care subsidy fraud detection, attendance anomaly detection, and provider monitoring into one cohesive system, eliminating the siloed, duplicative workflows that slow agencies down. Where standalone point solutions flag individual transactions, Risk and Audit supports the full oversight lifecycle — from initial risk assessment through review and corrective action — backed by consistent, evidence-based processes that standalone tools simply cannot match.

Yes! This is one of Risk and Audit's most powerful differentiators. Unlike point-in-time reviews, CUSP continuously monitors risk trend data over time and uses historical child care compliance comparisons to identify when patterns are shifting in ways that may signal emerging risk. These monitoring capabilities give program integrity and audit teams the ability to intervene earlier, reducing the likelihood of significant financial loss or program harm. Combined with child care provider compliance pattern detection and ongoing billing and attendance monitoring, Risk and Audit gives your team a complete, time-aware view of provider risk long before a problem becomes a crisis.
