Audit Resolution

November 21, 2024

Access the on-demand webinar here

The federal grant system is, at its core, a “trust but verify” system in which compliance is driven by after-the-fact review of grantee activities.  Often, such after-the-fact reviews are in the form of Single Audit Act annual audits or Office of Inspector General audits. In this presentation, a panel of attorneys will bring their day-to-day practice experience in resolving audit findings to bear for an in-depth discussion of risks, strategies, and opportunities in the audit process.  Based upon the legal underpinnings of the federal grant system and government rights to impose remedial measures, the attorneys comprising our panel will provide practical guidance on the “dos and don’ts” in audit resolution. 

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.

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