Sneak Preview: GREAT Act Has Potential To Assist Small Grantees

xgran_bookshot

беспроцентные микрозаймы онлайн (The following was excerpted from a recent article in the Federal Grants Management Handbook.) Legislative officials working with the sponsors of the Grant Reporting Efficiency and Agreements Transparency (GREAT) Act of 2017 (H.R. 4887) recently told attendees at a forum hosted by REI Systems and the George Washington University Trachtenberg School of Public Policy and Public Administration, that the bill, if enacted, would assist all grant recipients, but would particularly prove beneficial to smaller nonfederal entities with limited budgets in managing their grants because the bill’s requirement for the use of standardized data for grant reporting would simplify grant management compliance.

Uniform Guidance “Musts” and “Shoulds” Still Cause Confusion

omelette-1330024

займ на карту мгновенно без отказа срочно In an odd way, I found myself thinking about the anti-drug public service announcement campaign from the late 1980s while attending a Grants Training Forum yesterday hosted by Thompson Information Services and the Public Contracting Institute here in Washington, D.C. If you’re part of the younger generation and haven’t seen this rather famous TV commercial, it features a sizzling frying pan, and the announcer says, “OK, last time. This is drugs.” Then an egg comes down on the pan and begins frying, to which the announcer continues, “This is your brain on drugs. Any questions?” The 15-second spot proved a creative metaphor for the dangers of drugs. Now, why did this commercial come to mind when discussing grants?

GAO Plans To Issue Revised Yellow Book This Summer

seal_2011_12_20

For all those auditors and auditees out there who have waited seven years for the next revision of the Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS), also known as the Yellow Book, the wait may be over in the next couple of months. Yesterday, we attended a meeting with GAO officials and its 18-member GAGAS Advisory Council as they discussed proposed amendments to an exposure draft of the revised Yellow Book that GAO had released last spring. GAO said that it plans to take the information gleaned from its meeting with council members to finalize the document and publish a revision to the Yellow Book, hopefully around June 30. долгосрочный микрозайм на карту с ежемесячным платежом
