The billions of dollars that are awarded by federal agencies to
thousands of grantees nationwide often don’t stop there. They get
passed through as subgrants to thousands more “subrecipients.”
And that means that when your organization is the primary
grantee or “pass-through entity,” the federal government is looking
to you to ensure that those funds are spent according to laws,
regulations and the provisions of your agreements. So, whether
you work for a governmental unit, a university or a non-profit
organization, you’re probably in the “subrecipient monitoring”
business. And the chances are, if you have received federal
stimulus funds, that business has become even more active.
But how do you monitor subrecipients? Federal requirements for
subrecipient monitoring show up in both grants management
and audit policies. But they leave a lot to judgment. Some
grantees have relied on their subrecipients’ OMB Circular A-133
audits as their primary tools for monitoring compliance. But lots
of subrecipients don’t expend enough federal money to trigger
the need for a single audit. Independent audits of pass-through
entities are increasingly raising questions about whether those
organizations are obtaining proper assurance about subrecipient
audits when they are required.
This session will help you answer these questions and respond to what
is recognized as a key responsibility in federal grants management.
Agenda/Objectives:
• The specifics of federal requirements for subrecipient monitoring
• Pre-award steps that can help streamline monitoring and
target critical issues
• Organizing the subgrant agreement as a management and
monitoring tool
• How to organize your “subgrant universe”
• The “smorgasbord” of available post-award monitoring techniques

Several federal policies affecting administration and audit of grants
and subgrants require that recipient and subrecipient organizations
design and operate effective internal controls over cash, property
and other assets, over compliance with laws, regulations and
financial reporting. The resulting procedures are intended to
prevent and detect financial misstatements and violations of federal
requirements. Independent auditors performing OMB Circular
A-133 audits are required to gain an understanding of these
controls and to report any deficiencies in them. The professional
and government audit standards affecting that reporting have
recently changed in important ways. They’ve already “lowered
the bar” for what is being reported as a “significant deficiency” or
a “material weakness.” That suggests that knowing what’s really
required and performing a self-assessment of those controls are
timely steps for recipients and subrepicients to perform. This audio
conference will help you launch those kinds of successful efforts.
Agenda/Objectives:
• Specific federal requirements for designing grant
related internal controls
• Common standards for internal control policies and
procedures, such as the so-called COSO model and the
standards that the federal government applies to itself
• Grant compliance areas where unique control procedures
may be warranted
• Cost and benefit balancing and the concept of
“reasonable assurance”
• Revised internal control reporting criteria that
independent auditors must now employ
Like it or not, the federal government’s line of defense against
fraud, abuse, mismanagement and unallowable cost begins with
audits -- those performed by nonfederal auditors under Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133 and those
performed by federal inspectors general. And since the current
overheated accountability atmosphere is making those auditors
more aggressive than ever, it's even more critical that federal
grantees and subgrantees generate the kind of documentation
that will create an “audit trail” and satisfy auditors’ inquiries.
However, the problem is that most of the federal grant rules
covering that documentation are ambiguous. They say things
like required accounting records will be “supported by source
documentation” or costs charged to awards must be “adequately
documented.” But they never tell you what is adequate. So how
should you respond?
Agenda/Objectives:
• Learn to identify the kinds of documentation to create to
support federal award charges
• Based upon few specific requirements and standards of
evidence that the auditors must follow, learn the possibilities for
assuring that credible, reliable and sufficient support can be
developed for such charges as:
• salaries and wages
• fringe benefits
• travel
• equipment
• supplies
• space occupancy
• professional services
• third-party in-kind contributions

Accurately assessing the performance and administration of federal
grant programs has always been a tricky undertaking. But one
attribute is increasingly being cited as one indicator that a recipient
or subrecipient of federal grants is being held accountable for its
handling of those public funds—a “clean A-133 audit.”
OMB Circular A-133 (Revised), Audits of States, Local Governments
and Nonprofit Organizations, has been the key federal government
policy on audit of federal grants and subgrants for more than a decade.
But understanding the fundamentals concerning the scope, objectives
and results of those “single audits” has never been as important as it
is now. Multiple factors align to make that true. Current bad economic
news and increased government intervention in the free market
promise to swell federal budget deficits in a way that guarantees
unprecedented oversight of federal grant programs and a weaning out
of programs and recipients that can’t cut it. Meanwhile, independent
auditors are under more pressure than ever to demonstrate that they
have properly performed required tests of grant dollars, particularly
in the aftermath of a high profile study released by federal inspectors
general that showed a high percentage of annual Circular A-133 audits
failed to meet applicable auditing standards. In short, the stakes of
coming through your A-133 audit with no findings have gone up at a
time when the likelihood of doing so has gone down.
Agenda/Objectives:
• Who is covered and how?
• What federal awards must be included in the audit scope?
• What other federal policies affect the audit?
• What applicable standards and guidance apply?
• What are the responsibilities of the “auditee?”
• What are the responsibilities of federal agencies?
• What are the responsibilities of the “pass-through entity?”
• What is the responsibility of the auditors and what will they be looking for?
• What are the audit “deliverables” and how should they be used?
The conference will serve as an excellent and effective introduction
for those who have had little or no exposure to the Circular A-133
audit process as well as a useful refresher for more experienced staff.
Employee compensation is one of the biggest line items in most federal
grant budgets and it’s also one of the few where there is a specific
set of federal standards for what the documentary support for those
charges should look like. Additionally, recipients and subrecipients
have to fashion their own employee compensation systems, and all
too often, grantee organizations and their staff members are careless
about their procedures and practices for making sure that sufficient
support is available to justify these costs. Avoiding problems with this
key activity will go a long way toward assuring that your federal grants
are not vulnerable to questioned or disallowed costs.
This session will review the nuances of time and effort reporting—
what’s required by the Office of Management and Budget
circulars that establish what costs are allowable, which ones are
not and how the costs are to be documented.
Agenda/Objectives:
• What are the policies for documentation of employee compensation
for each major set of grant performers (state and local governments,
colleges and universities, and nonprofit organizations)?
• Why are budgeted amounts unacceptable for salary and wage support?
• What are the rules concerning full disclosure of all time worked?
• Who completes the documentation or certifies that it's accurate?
• What increments of time and effort must be kept?
• How often do time sheets need to be prepared?
• What is the relationship between grant time and effort reporting and
requirements of the federal wage and hour law?

Without a doubt, “indirect cost” is one of the most misunderstood
topics in federal grant administration and audit. Frequent and
often fundamental misconceptions abound among various
grant stakeholders—awarding agency personnel, recipient and
subrecipient program staff, university faculty, and even financial
managers and auditors. Indirect cost recovery under federal
grants is grounded on three simple concepts:
• Each grant supported program should bear its fair share of
costs that benefit it
• Some costs incurred for common purposes, such as for
facilities or administration, cannot be readily identified with a
particular grant project
• Performing detailed cost accounting analyses for some of these
types of expenses is time-consuming and wasteful
Unfortunately, the coverage of those simple concepts in the
applicable federal policies on the subject is anything but simple.
And there are many differences in those policies, depending on
whether you work for a governmental unit, a higher education
institution or a nonprofit organization.
Agenda/Objectives:
• How to differentiate among the often confusing and
overlapping terminology
• The regulatory policies affecting different types of
grant performers
• What tools organizations must use to develop, present and
negotiate indirect cost rates with the federal government
• How indirect costs are recovered under individual awards
• How to identify areas of indirect cost audit vulnerability

The key methodology used throughout our consulting services is
the Government Performance Logic Model and the Logic Model
“V”. Both logic models allow for a top down approach that allow you
to focus on developing performance goals and measures that are in
alignment with your organizations long term mission and objectives.

Winning Strategies for Developing Proposals
and Managing Grants (3rd Edition). To people
unfamiliar with the process, grantseeking can be
a daunting, confusing and complex task. Novices
in the grants field often see other organizations
receiving grants but fail to understand the
process or procedures used to obtain them, It
is imperative for organizations seeking funding
– whether from federal agencies, private
foundations or corporate endowments – to understand the process.
Perhaps as equally important is for grantseekers to understand and put
into practice effective tools for researching funding sources, defining
goals and objectives of proposed projects and activities, and writing
sound grant proposals.
Winning Strategies for Developing Proposals and Managing
Grants provides those tools for successful grantseeking. The
purpose of this book is to help organizations that search for funding
fine-tune their grantseeking skills and practices.
References in Grant Development and
Management. Whether you are new to the grants
profession or a seasoned pro, everyone needs a
suggestion or clarification every now and then.
The grants world is full or terms, phrases and
concepts. Funding agencies new to you may have
different terms with which you are unfamiliar.
References in Grant Development and Management was created as a
handy reference for grant professionals of all kind. We have included
hundreds of key grant-related terms and phrases that we use all the
time – and some that we use very infrequently – but always need to
get our hands on quickly. The book also includes cross-references for
terminology that may be specific to some funding agencies.

Techniques for Monitoring Federal Subawards.
Every year, federal agencies award billions of dollars
to state, local and tribal governments, colleges and
universities, and other organizations to administer
a myriad of federal assistance programs. Through
hundreds of federal programs, these agencies carry
out federal mandates and public policies created
by executive order of the president or legislation
enacted by Congress. For the most part, federal
agencies rely on their grant recipients to implement these programs
by adhering to program rules and governmentwide polices for
