Federal Grants Expert to Review Significant Changes in OMB’s 2015 Compliance Supplement
Washington, DC (PRWEB) June 29, 2015 -- This year’s changes to the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) Single Audit Compliance Supplement, which captures what grantees will be tested on, are expected to be significant, stemming from the transition to new administrative requirements and cost principles, and OMB’s objective to concentrate audit resources on higher dollar and higher risk programs. Participants of the July 9 Federal Fund Management Advisor webinar, “OMB’s 2015 Compliance Supplement for Single Audits: How to Use It for Audit Readiness,” will hear advice from federal grants expert Bob Lloyd on how the Supplement can help them be prepared for an audit.
Mr. Lloyd will provide 60 minutes of presentations followed by 30 minutes dedicated to individual questions. Participants will learn:
- Which key compliance tests have been retained (and which eliminated) and in what ways
- Where and how key text changes have been made to the cross-cutting requirements in Part 3 of the Supplement
- What adjustments have been made in the listings for specific programs and clusters of programs
- How auditors have been instructed to use the Supplement’s guidance on review of internal controls going forward
- What special advisories and alerts are being published for 2015
