Gain an understanding of internal controls for grant management including COSO framework and controls over compliance.
Effective grant compliance relies on having an in-depth understanding of the federal grant requirements, and the resources and personnel to meet them. This includes having the proper policies and procedures and strong internal controls. Without an understanding of what proper internal controls over compliance structure need to include, navigating through the governing regulations can be overwhelming. This webinar will discuss common challenges that organizations face in implementing effective internal controls and how to ensure that your grant compliance program addresses them. Topics to be covered include the COSO framework; internal controls over compliance; protected personally identifiable information control requirements, and examples of internal control. This material will also go over some grant management best practices. Learn how to identify policies and procedures that may need revisions, and understand changes needed for your organization’s internal control over compliance structure.
