May 5 Webinar to Examine Impact of New Grants Reform Guidance on Subrecipient, Contractor Determinations
Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- OMB’s grant reform guidance instructs pass-through entities to “make case-by-case determinations whether each agreement it makes for disbursement of federal program funds casts the party receiving the funds in the role of a subrecipient or a contractor.” The May 5 webinar from Federal Fund Management Advisor, “Subrecipient or Contractor? OMB Mandates ‘Case-by-Case’ Decision Making,” will provide a fresh and practical examination of how to make defensible determinations, and then how to proceed with effective management and oversight.
During the May 5 webinar — led by federal grants expert Bob Lloyd — participants will learn:
• What does OMB mean by an “assistance” relationship?
• What does it mean by a “procurement” relationship?
• What applicable program requirements actually serve to create a subrecipient relationship?
• What applicable federal requirements have to be included in a contractor relationship?
• What is the significance of OMB’s word changes in the instrument selection guidance?
• How do factors like development of the project design, conduct of competition, the types of organizations involved, and the nature of agreement “pricing” impact the determination?
• After the award decision is made, what type of oversight and audit is expected?
