Federal Grants Expert to Provide Advice on Determining Subrecipient, Contractor Roles Under OMB’s New Guidance
Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 24, 2014 -- In its recent federal grant reform initiative, the Office of Management and Budget has sought to help pass-through entities make a distinction between whether an agreement they make using federal funds casts the organization that they are doing business with in the role of a “subrecipient” versus a “vendor” or “contractor.” In the Dec. 8 Federal Fund Management Advisor webinar, “Subrecipient or Contractor? Creating a Definitive, Defensible Checklist for Case-by-Case Determinations,” federal grants expert Bob Lloyd will help pass-through entities apply the new guidance and devise a workable, defensible process to make the proper determination between “subrecipients” and “contractors.”
Participants of the Dec. 8 webinar will learn:
• Why — and how — the terminology pass-through entities use can be determinative
• How to make the distinction between “assistance” and “procurement” relationships
• Whether a subrecipient or contractor “determines who is eligible to receive what federal assistance”
• What features present during the award process help define the relationship
• The federal program requirements that might lead to a subrecipient determination
• Which grant and contract clauses will help make the distinction
• How to review and revise existing agreements to support previous decisions
