The Single Audit Under the Uniform Guidance

June 27, 2024

Join CPA and Certified Fraud Examiner Carol Barnard of Aprio and Partner Scott S. Sheffler for a discussion of the Single Audit Act annual audit.  

All medium and large grantees must undergo a Single Audit Act annual audit (often referred to as the “Uniform Guidance”, “A-133” or “Subpart F” audit). The Single Audit is the federal government’s most important tool for testing your compliance with the terms of your awards. Moreover, it is a major annual expense for your organization, so it is important to get it right.  

In this webinar, Scott and Carol will provide an in-depth look at this process from both the grants accounting and legal perspectives, covering key topics like:  

  • The federal purposes and authorities for such audits  
  • Grantee obligations during the audit process  
  • What to expect from auditors and federal agencies during an audit  

Join us to ensure you understand the process, your rights, and your obligations.  


Please note: This webinar is offered as a complimentary product to all Federal Grants Training Members. For more information on our Federal Grants Training Membership, click here or contact us.
