Forward(Recorded Webinar) Time and Effort Documentation
The most common compliance finding for federal grant recipients is a failure to adequately document the time and effort of the grantee’s personnel. Fundamentally a requirement designed to ensure reasonable allocation of personnel costs, time and effort requirements are often misunderstood. Compounding the confusion, the Uniform Guidance relaxed requirements for most grantees almost a decade ago, but the relaxed standards in the regulatory text led to few changes in actual practices by agency reviewers, auditors, and grantees who had grown accustomed to the more specific requirements under the prior OMB Circulars.
Join Managing Partner Ted Waters for a discussion of the purpose of time and effort, defensible systemic approaches under current standards, and a discussion of common mistakes.

Certificates of Attendance: We verify attendance upon completion of a webinar (live or recorded version) and will only issue certificates in the name of the account holder enrolled in the course. If you need to document attendance for someone other than the account holder, we provide blank Certificates of Attendance for a supervisor to sign and certify that a different individual viewed the course.
Group Attendance: Due to the online nature of webinars, we cannot verify participation by more than one person. For groups, we provide an attendance record form and blank Certificates of Attendance to record attendance at a group viewing session and document each individual's participation. We recommend that a supervisor or colleague sign the certificate to certify attendance.
