DESCRIPTION -
The AGA, in conjunction with the Office of the State Comptroller and the NYS Department of Transportation, is pleased to announce a new and increasingly important topic to our audio conference schedule—grants management.
Grants administrators operate in a dynamic and complex environment. They face an ever growing list of compliance issues, closely scrutinized by internal and external auditors. The American Reinvestment and Recovery Act has raised the “compliance bar” with additional reporting and accountability requirements. State and local governments, not-for-profits and education and research grant administrators are struggling to untangle, interpret and manage the growing list of requirements that comes with the flow of Federal dollars. The presenters will cover some of the recent changes related to grant regulations and begin to sort out the new reporting and compliance requirements related to grant funding. These requirements are not only important for grant administrators to know, but for auditors, accountants and other financial accountability professionals to understand.
This audio conference will be unique in that more time will be devoted to answering questions regarding Recovery Act reporting requirements. The presenters will ask and answer many of the concerns already raised in various circles. But as participants, you will have the opportunity to email your questions before and during the audio conference. Please send your questions to we10@txstate.edu and cc. joseph.kull@us.pwc.com and we will attempt to include them in the program.
To share their practical experiences in grants management are Thomas A. Cooley, MS, Chief Financial Officer and Director, Office of Budget, Finance and Awards, National Science Foundation; W. Scott Erwin, CGFM, CRA, Director, Office of Sponsored Programs, Texas State University – San Marcos; and Joseph L. Kull, CGFM, CPA, Director, PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP.
Please join us for two hours of lively discussion about this important and timely topic. In addition to the speakers’ commentary, there will be approximately 20 minutes for Q&A so that the participants can ask the speaker questions and share their own experiences. |
