Top 5 Risk Areas in Grant Management (And What You Can Do to Avoid Problems)

December 16, 2027

This webinar is included in the Federal Grants Training Membership.

Most grant findings are not the result of intentional wrongdoing. They stem from inherited practices that haven’t been updated, routine processes that break down over time, unclear responsibilities, or failing to understand and implement compliance requirements. Understanding where problems are most likely to occur is the first step in conducting effective, risk-based evaluations and, as necessary, corrective action.

This webinar will explore five of the most common risk areas in grants management: time and effort, cost allocation, less-than-arms-length transaction, procurement practices and subrecipient oversight. In this training, Feldesman Managing Partner Ted Waters will examine how these issues often arise, discuss the potential consequences of noncompliance, and share tips for improving oversight and accountability.

The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar.
