NASACT, in conjunction with the Association of Government Accountants
and the Association of Local Government Auditors, is pleased to announce
the latest in its series of audio conferences addressing timely issues
in government auditing and financial management. 

 

This audio conference will address the key issues surrounding
administrative costs for activities relating to the American Recovery
and Reinvestment Act (ARRA or the Recovery Act) signed into law on
February 17, 2009. This monumental legislation placed many additional
responsibilities on accountability professionals in state and local
governments without designated funding. To allow for the recovery of
additional administrative costs, the U.S. Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) issued guidance on May 11, 2009. This guidance provides
grant recipients flexibility in recovering administrative costs related
to carrying out Recovery Act programs and activities in a more timely
manner.

 

States and local governments are currently trying to implement the
provisions of OMB's guidance. Join us for this timely audio conference
to learn about the requirements from the perspectives of OMB, the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services, and the states of Arizona and
Colorado. A number of practical implementation issues will be discussed.
In addition, participants will be able to address questions to the
speakers during a live Q&A session.

 

This audio conference offers something for all government auditors,
financial statement preparers, budget officers and other government
officials who want to know more about the recovery of administrative
costs under ARRA.
