Since 2020, nonprofit and governmental organizations have received unprecedented federal government funding (peaking at over $1 trillion). There are new federal grant recipients, sub-recipients, and contractors entering the space and trying to figure out how to manage the complex federal grant requirements. This process can seem daunting and complicated, and many do not understand where to start, what resources to use, and how best to manage these funds (and avoid audit findings). In this session, we'll discuss the importance of internal controls and provide a step-by-step process for integrating them into your organization. Even if your organization already receives federal grant funding or is new to grants, there are updated requirements and expectations to ensure you maintain compliance and ensure accountability. It doesn’t matter if you are a one-person office, are part of a larger department, are based in the United States, or are international; the same rules apply. This will be an instructor-led format with time for case studies, discussion questions, and a question-and-answer session.

This session is equal to one CPE credit.
