Demystifying the Post-Award Administrative Requirements - Session 2 - 2024 Uniform Guidance Revisions Series
The New Rules of the Road - Adapting to Change: 2024 Uniform Guidance Revisions Webinar Series - 2025
In this session, we will dive into the post-award administrative topics that can pose the largest amount of risk to even the most seasoned award recipients. Unfortunately, the Uniform Guidance regulation is great at telling organizations `what' they must do when performing under Federal awards, however, they do not always tell organizations `how' to establish compliant practices and processes that will fulfill the expectations of Federal agencies. During this session, we will address key administrative requirements and the associated best practices for award administration. Learning Objectives:  Understanding the revisions to post-award administrative requirements necessary for the successful and compliant execution of your Federal awards. This session will cover the areas of: o Timekeeping o Procurement o Subrecipient Monitoring o Post-closeout adjustments & continuing responsibilities

New Considerations for Maximizing Indirect Cost Recovery - Session 3 - 2024 Uniform Guidance Revisions Series
The New Rules of the Road - Adapting to Change: 2024 Uniform Guidance Revisions Webinar Series - 2025
Is your current indirect cost allocation strategy right for your organization? One of the major benefits afforded by the implementation of Uniform Guidance is the ability for award recipients to negotiate indirect cost rates with the federal government. Unfortunately, many organizations still have not taken full advantage of this benefit. We live in a time where Federal budgets are shrinking and indirect rates are under increased scrutiny. It has never been more important for award recipients to ensure they are efficiently recovering their fair share of administrative costs on Federal awards. If "Set-It-And-Forget-It" is your organization's current strategy for indirect cost recovery this session is for you! In this session, we will examine the updates to the De Minimis rate, the Appendices to 2 CFR 200, and learn how to utilize these changes to optimize your organization's current cost recovery practices. Learning Objectives:  Benefits of having a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement  How to leverage your rates once approved  Best Practices for evaluating your indirect cost recovery practices  Updates to Uniform Guidance

Contractor Tips - Shape Govt Solicitations and Win Contract Awards with Pre-Award Communications and Protests
In federal procurements, the solicitation is the rule book. Before you submit your bid or proposal, however, you have a limited opportunity to shape the rules to increase your likelihood of receiving award. Through pre-proposal questions and other communications, you can improve the solicitation to enhance your chances of receiving award. If the solicitation precludes you from providing your most competitive proposal, you can also consider a pre-award protest at the agency, GAO, or Court of Federal Claims. This webinar will address what communications are permitted before the bid or proposal due date and how to effectively use this opportunity and potential protest options at the agency, GAO, or Court of Federal Claims. Based on extensive practical experience and recent caselaw, this webinar will provide guidance to help contractors successfully navigate the pre-proposal process. Learning Objectives: By the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to recognize unique features of the federal government pre-award process, including the scope of allowed communications, addressing potential past performance issues, organizational conflicts of interest, and other requirements in advance of proposal submission, and, the process for pre- award protests. The webinar will include discussion of lessons learned from years of experience representing clients in these areas.
