Where Did the Time Go? Documenting Grant-Funded Effort
This webinar is included in the 2027 Federal Grants Training Membership.
One of the most common compliance findings 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.
The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase after the conclusion of the live webinar.
