OMB Super Circular - Denver, CO

Make sure that your organization is in compliance with current grants management rules by attending this special edition of "Navigating the OMB Super Circular." The Uniform Grants Guidance (more commonly called the "Super Circular") created a new framework for managing Federal grants. However, the Super Circular was never intended to be static; the Uniform Grants Guidance has undergone revisions since its initial publication and continues to change. Navigating these evolving requirements is difficult, but failure to follow the Super Circular can have serious consequences (including repayment of funds, loss of funding, ineligibility for future awards, and criminal prosecution). By attending the two-day conference in Denver on October 11-12, 2018, you will learn how to better navigate the OMB Super Circular's complex requirements and avoid major pitfalls. The training will provide detailed explanations of the Uniform Grants Guidance's key rules for all types of organizations.

At the "Navigating the OMB Super Circular" conference, you will learn about the following topics: recent developments in grants management; administrative standards; unified cost principles; financial management system standards; internal control requirements; procurement and property management standards, including changes to the micro-purchase and small purchase limits; record retention rules; grant closeouts and later adjustments; funding source remedies and enforcement actions; differences between indirect and direct costs; special rules for allowability of certain cost items; time and effort documentation; prior "written" approval requirements; Single Audit Act audit requirements under Subpart F (formerly OMB Circular A-133); key differences between the OMB's Super Circular and awarding agencies' implementing regulations; consequences of fraud, abuse, and other violations of grants management rules; answers to frequently asked questions; and, avoiding common compliance issues.
