EDGAR Academy - Reno, NV
The Bruman Group is happy to introduce its EDGAR Academy.
This is a smaller group in-person 1-day workshop to review and discuss the requirements and changes to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) and its Uniform Grants Guidance (UGG) counterpart. We will breakdown the major sections, including the administrative requirements, cost principles and audit requirements within 2 CFR Part 200 (UGG), and highlight areas that auditors focus on (e.g., time and effort, procurement, and documentation requirements). We will also discuss the UGG proposed changes and proposed EDGAR changes and how they will potentially affect federal programs. Best of all, we will be able to have group discussions on the highlights and challenges around spending and tracking federal funds.
A coffee break will be provided. Attendees will be on their own for lunch.
The EDGAR Academy topics include:
- Time and effort certifications;
- Internal controls;
- Timely obligation of funds and carryover;
- Financial management rules;
- Record retention;
- Property/equipment/supplies inventory controls;
- Procurement and conflicts of interest;
- Construction and Davis Bacon requirements;
- Allowable costs;
- Audits and monitoring requirements and more!
All recipients of federal grant dollars (e.g., CARES Act, ESSA, IDEA, Perkins, AEFLA and School Nutrition) must comply with these rules to avoid audit exposure and to be eligible for available flexibility.
Attendees will learn:
- Federal requirements for accepting federal grants;
- Cash management and inventory tools to ensure compliance;
- What factors must be considered in determining if a cost is allowable;
- Procurement regulations that govern federally-funded contracts; and
- How the cost principles help determine allowability.
This training is of value to all administrators of federal funds. While we will focus on the Uniform Grants Guidance requirements we will also discuss the EDGAR rules and applicable U.S. Department of Education regulations, which are specific to USDE grants.
- Grant administrators at SEAs, LEAs, IHEs, Indian Tribes, nonprofit organizations, etc.;
- Grant program staff;
- Program and fiscal monitors; and
- Auditors.
