In-Depth Training on OMB’s Uniform Guidance Plus the From Strategy to Execution Workshop: Planning for the HS/EHS 5-Year Grant Cycle

11/6/2018 07:45 AM - 11/8/2018 05:00 PM (ET)

THIS TRAINING IS FULL. PLEASE SELECT ANOTHER TRAINING.

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 two-day 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”). And if you administer a Head Start/Early Head Start grant, you will want to stay for day three, when we discuss the “have to” (the Head Start Act and the Head Start Program Performance Standards) and the “how to” (the processes related to strategic planning, approvals, budgeting and outcomes) of the Head Start/Early Head Start five-year grant cycle.

Wipfli’s nonprofit experts have been presenting the highest-quality training for more than 40 years. Participants declare Wipfli training “empowering,” “outstanding,” “meaningful,” “invaluable” and “relevant.” At this workshop, our experts will provide you with in-depth training relating to financial management and administration.

• Goal Planning – Building five-year goals and one-year goals to meet them

• Outcomes – Identifying what needs tracked, and possibly improved upon, to meet your goals
• Results – Sharing your celebrations with the community you serve

Learning Objectives:
