June 5 Webinar to Discuss Single Audit Preparation Under OMB’s New Grant Reform Package
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 23, 2014 -- The feature of OMB’s grant reform that has probably received the most attention is the change in the threshold of federal fund expenditures that will trigger the requirement for conduct of an independent audit under the Single Audit Act of 1984 (as amended). But there are several other changes related to audits that recipients and subrecipients need to understand. As part of a webinar series on implementing OMB’s federal grants reform, the June 5 Federal Fund Management Advisor webinar,“Single Audit Readiness and Survival,” will drill down on all of the changes in the policy document that will replace OMB Circular A-133.
Participants will hear from Bob Lloyd, principal of Federal Fund Management Advisor in 90 minutes of presentation followed by 30 minutes dedicated to individual questions. He will explain:
• When and how the new audit threshold will take effect
• The new factor that must be taken into account during procurement of audit services
• What new guidance has surfaced about how recipients and subrecipients design internal controls
• How procedures will change for differentiating between subrecipients and contractors
• The required monitoring procedures for pass-through entities
• The types of disclosures recipients and subrecipients must make to their awarding agencies
• How steps that auditors must use to determine “major programs” are being altered
• All about the new “percentage of coverage” rules
• The likely future of the Single Audit “Compliance Supplement”
