[Okgrantsmanship] EDGAR Training -- Brustein & Manasevit, PLLC's 2015 Spring Forum

[Mason, Linda]

Dear Collaborative Colleagues,

Please see below for a Brustein & Manasevit training on the new EDGAR. The workshop is intensive, over three days (May 6-8), held in DC, and quite expensive ($825 per registrant) – but if you can afford it, these guys do a tremendous job.

Please pass on as you see fit.

All the best,
Sharmila

The New EDGAR: Every Day Grants Administration Rules


The Washington Hilton Hotel

Washington, D.C.


The landscape for managing federal grants has changed.  Are you prepared?  The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the U.S. Education Department beat their self-imposed deadline by issuing the changes to the Education Department General Administrative Regulations (EDGAR) on December 19, 2014.  The new Uniform Grant Guidance (UGG) has replaced the old administrative, cost, and audit rules.  These regulatory changes have a direct impact on all federal programs.  Program administrators now need to have "written" policies and procedures on cash management, allowability, conflicts, procurement, equipment management, travel and indirect costs.  In addition, the 114th Congress will attempt to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the Higher Education Act, the Carl Perkins Career and Technical Education Act, and various other education laws - but success will depend on the ability of both parties to find common ground.  More policy changes will likely be made through "policy riders," conditions placed on funding for agencies carrying out those laws and programs (the fiscal year 2014 funding bill enacted in December contained a number of these riders).





So how will these changes to federal grant management impact your day-to-day responsibilities?  Mark your calendars for May 6th to 8th to attend the Brustein & Manasevit Spring Forum in Washington, D.C. at the Washington Hilton.  This conference will walk you through all the major revisions to the federal rules governing costs, audits and administrative principles.  We will explain the dramatic shift of focus from compliance to performance and from process to outcomes especially in the area of time and effort, inventory controls for computers, procurement, meals/conferences, travel, indirect costs and "pass-through" responsibilities.  We will also update attendees on funding, budgets, and the various program reauthorizations.



Gil Tran, the Director of the OMB office responsible for the UGG, has been invited to present, along with representatives from the Government Accountability Office (GAO), the Office of the Inspector General (OIG), Risk Management Service (RMS), and various federal education program offices.



On the morning of May 6, Bonnie Little Graham and Michael Brustein will conduct a pre-session on the new EDGAR from 8:30 to 11:00.  This tutorial will provide a basic level review of the new EDGAR.  The key changes to EDGAR will be covered in more depth during the rest of the Forum.



Please note that our Fall Forum in December was opened for registration on July 1, and it was sold out within four weeks.  With the release of the new EDGAR and the need for detailed and timely information, we expect this conference to sell out by early February.  We urge you to register and reserve your room at the hotel as soon as possible.
