Description

General Cost Principles – Video Course includes an online video and a self-study manual for 2 hours of CPE credit.

Cost principles described in the Uniform Grant Guidance tell you what you can and can't spend federal grant money on. This short video course will cover identifying whether the cost is allowable by applying the “big three” general cost principles. Sefton Boyars and Bill Allen share funny and outrageous stories about grantees who didn't follow the rules and the grantor's and auditor's response. Grantees, grantors, pass-through organizations, and auditors will benefit from this essential knowledge needed to properly manage and audit federal grants.
