Nov. 3 Federal Fund Management Advisor Webinar Will Explain How to Properly Fulfill Grant-Reporting Responsibilities
Washington, DC (PRWEB) October 23, 2015 -- When the Office of Management and Budget completed its recent grant reform initiative, it updated a set of policies that reinforced the importance of federal grant reporting, emphasizing the role of the Paperwork Reduction Act, adding new requirements, and leaving room for grantors to come up with even more requirements. Additionally, OMB did not clarify what kinds of reports pass-through entities can demand from subrecipients. To help grantees get a handle on these changes, Federal Fund Management Advisor is pleased to offer “Updating Your Federal Grant Reporting Checklist Based on OMB Reforms,” an upcoming Nov. 3 webinar, which will identify each relevant requirement and drill down on what has to be reported, how and when.
Presented by Federal Fund Management Advisor principal Bob Lloyd, this 90-minute program will explain:
- Rules that apply to reporting imposed by federal agencies
- Rules that apply to reporting imposed by pass-through entities
- Financial reporting relying on the Standard Form 425
- Performance reporting and attention to the Government Performance and Results Act
- The importance of timely reporting of “extraordinary” events
- New required disclosures related to conflict of interest and federal criminal laws
- Subaward reporting under the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act (FFATA)
- Continued reporting obligations for real property purchased or constructed with federal funds
- President Obama’s executive order on methods of reporting and transmission
- Reporting at the closeout of an award
- The single audit reporting package
- The requirements of the Digital Accountability and Transparency Act (DATA)
The webinar also includes a generous question-and-answer session.
