Upcoming Webinar Presentation to Offer Guidance on OMB’s Single Audit Changes
Washington, DC (PRWEB) May 11, 2015 -- The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has substantially overhauled Circular A-133 in its recent federal grants management reform, starting with an increase in the dollar threshold that triggers a single audit. And, they’ve renamed it “Subpart F of 2 CFR 200.” The new directive takes effect for recipient and subrecipient fiscal years that begin after Dec. 26, 2014. That probably means that many organizations will be moving into their first affected fiscal year over the next few months.“Making the Single Audit Transition — Moving from Circular A-133 to 'Subpart F',” a May 20 reprise of Federal Fund Management Advisor’s popular January webinar, will help organizations understand the new policies and how to smoothly transition to them.
In 60 minutes of presentation followed by 30 minutes devoted to individual questions, Federal Fund Management Advisor Principal Bob Lloyd will provide answers to these, and many other, questions:
• What’s the new audit threshold and how does it kick in?
• What parts of old Circular A-133 might still be relevant?
• How should requests for proposals for audit services be modified?
• What features should audit contracts contain?
• How have auditor instructions for conducting risk assessments changed?
• What new steps will auditors take in determining major programs for testing?
• What’s the future of the OMB Compliance Supplement and how will it impact awardees?
• Who will now qualify as a low-risk auditee and what difference does it make?
• What effect will the threshold change have on subrecipient monitoring?
• In what ways should single audit reports change?
• Who continues to receive copies of audit reporting packages?
• What role will single audit history play in future funding decisions?
