Two-Day In-Depth Training on OMB's Uniform Guidance Plus One-Day Tribal Government Hot Topics

3/20/2018 07:45 AM - 3/22/2018 04:00 PM (MT)

WHY ATTEND

Having strong internal controls and understanding the rules governing how you can and cannot spend federal dollars are keys to fiscal management and overall compliance in your organization.

Professionals new to the organization, as well as professionals who have been there for decades, will benefit from this review of the administrative and cost principles/allocation sections of the 2 CFR Part 200 – Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (also known as the “Uniform Guidance”).

Join days one and two of this training workshop to learn about the new Uniform Guidance regulations and, more important, how to implement them in your organization. Review the regulations you need to know to stay in compliance through examples, stories, and best practices learned from years of auditing and consulting. Take back up-to-date and relevant information to implement immediately in your agency.

On day three, we will focus on the specific needs of tribal government entities by exploring hot topics such as the general audit and compliance requirements under the Uniform Guidance, the requirements for accounting for leases under GASB 87, the changes regarding fiduciary activities as clarified in GASB 84, and more.
