This webinar will discuss how best to document and address OMB’s COVID UGG flexibilities to avoid audit findings. We will review prior U.S. Department of Education disaster relief audit findings and discuss applicability to current COVID-19 allowability issues. Finally, we will provide best practices as to how non-federal entities can implement internal controls to assure allowability while reducing the risk of fraud, waste, and abuse.

Attendees will learn:

• The flexibilities permitted from the Office of Management and Budget related to COVID-19;
• How to ensure charges to federal grants are allowable and meet related documentation requirements and flexibility;
• Be provided recommendations for documentation and internal controls based on prior disaster relief audits that can reduce the risk of fraud, waste and abuse of current federal funds.
