NCURA Webinar: Compliance and the Uniform Guidance (University-Wide) *new
Date: Monday, December 14, 2020, 2:00pm to 3:30pm
Description: The Uniform Guidance is one of the most important regulatory changes implemented in decades. While its purpose was to reduce administrative burden and safeguard against waste or misuse of funds, compliance remains the primary focus. With new proposed changes on the horizon, IHEs (Institutions of Higher Education) once again prepare to implement policies and procedures in a seemingly never-ending quest for compliance. This session will explore the Uniform Guidance sections on cost principles, internal controls, and audits.
Speakers:
