Overview
This workshop will incorporate the updated US Government regulations, as per the rule changes effective December 26, 2014.
Consistent and effective financial management is the key to receiving funding from the US Government – and also to reducing audit findings.
Whether you are receiving a grant, cooperative agreement, or a contract, whether you are a prime, a sub or new to donor funding - developing, implementing and maintaining an adequate financial management system is key to becoming and remaining eligible for federal monies, effectively managing program and donor relations, and reducing the anxiety and risk around audits. This workshop will help you in this quest. This course is one of three required to earn InsideNGO’s Certificate in USAID Assistance Management.
