Mandatory Disclosures

March 21, 2024

Access the on-demand webinar here. 

All Federal grantees must report certain activities potentially affecting their federal award, including fraud and fraud-like matters, certain conflicts of interest, and certain criminal, civil, and administrative proceedings.

With the promulgation of the Uniform Guidance in December 2014, OMB moved, in key areas, from voluntary disclosures to mandatory reporting. In January 2016, mandatory reporting expanded further with requirements under the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (“FAPIIS”). With the recently (fall 2023) proposed updates to the Uniform Guidance, OMB has proposed expanding mandatory reporting obligations to include Civil False Claims Act violations — a proposed change that is very likely to be adopted.

In this webinar, attorneys Rosie Dawn Griffin and Scott S. Sheffler will provide an overview of the core reporting requirements, address areas of ambiguity, and discuss considerations relevant to the internal evaluation of whether a disclosure may be required.

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.
