May 13 Federal Fund Management Advisor Webinar to Examine Indirect Cost Options for Grantees
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 02, 2014 -- One of the most significant policy changes to come out of the Office of Management and Budget’s two-year federal grants reform effort relates to recognition of the indirect costs incurred by subrecipients. OMB is requiring that primary grantee and other pass-through entities accept those indirect charges through one of three options. “Dealing With the Indirect Costs of Your Subrecipients — Examine Your Options,” a May 13 webinar from Federal Fund Management Advisor, will help grantees and other pass-through entities decide how to best employ all of the options available to be both fair to their subrecipients and cost conscious, too.
During the May 13 webinar — led by federal grants expert Bob Lloyd — participants will learn:
• How to use a federally approved indirect cost rate agreement
• How to handle the indirect costs of an entity that is specifically instructed not to seek a federally negotiated rate
• The parameters for use of the de minimis 10% rate
• How to modify the rate negotiation procedures used by the federal government to accommodate negotiation at the pass-through level
• How independent auditors can assist in providing assurance about indirect cost rates
