Are you new to grant accounting? This beginner-level training series is tailored for finance staff stepping into the world of grant accounting and compliance. Through a series of focused sessions, you'll build a foundation in the essential elements of grant management — from navigating federal regulations and applying internal controls to handling cost allocation and reporting.

Whether you are supporting a single grant or managing multiple funding streams, this series will help you build confidence, support your entity’s funding responsibilities and contribute to your community programs.

Learning objectives:

• Experience an overview of grant-funded accounting and administration.
• Gain practical steps for applying internal controls and documentation practices.
• Review guidance on using Uniform Guidance (2 CFR Part 200) in daily work.
• Discover strategies for distributing shared costs and preparing reports.
