The real risk doesn’t end when the award letter is signed; it lives in the day-to-day administration of the award. \n\n\n\nThis session moves internal auditors beyond the award notice to examine how grant funds are actually managed across the full award lifecycle from budget monitoring and effort reporting to subrecipient oversight\, cost allowability\, and closeout. Jen and Angie will share a practical\, risk-based framework for scoping grant management audits\, evaluating institutional controls\, and keeping audit programs current with Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) requirements. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nAfter attending this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n\n\n\n\nIdentify key risk areas across the grant lifecycle including cost allowability\, time and effort reporting\, and subrecipient monitoring that extend well beyond the initial award.\n\n\n\nEvaluate institutional internal controls over grant administration and recognize common control gaps specific to higher education environments.\n\n\n\nApply a risk-based approach to scoping and planning grant management audits aligned with Uniform Guidance (2 CFR 200) requirements.\n\n\n\nDevelop practical audit test steps and sampling strategies for grant compliance reviews.\n\n\n\nRecognize emerging risk trends and red flags in federal and state grant funding that warrant increased audit attention.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group InternetField of Study: Specialized KnowledgeAdvance Preparation: NonePrerequisites are required: NoCost: $25 for non-membersRecommended CPEs: 1 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nResources\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHost Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJen Butler\n\n\n\nPartner \n\n\n\nEisnerAmper \n\n\n\n\n\nJennifer Butler is a Partner at EisnerAmper\, where she leads Government Sector Services for the firm’s advisory practice.
