Subject: Relief for Administrative, Financial Management and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards

Good Evening:  The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has released memorandum M-20-17, regarding administrative relief surrounding circumstances resultant of the Corona Virus crisis.  This memorandum provides similar administrative relief listed in M-20-11 to an expanded scope of recipients affected by the loss of operational capacity and increased costs due to the COVID-19. The document provides short term relief for administrative, financial management, and audit requirements under 2 CFR Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost principles and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards, without compromising Federal financial assistance accountability requirements.   This memo was sent to the Heads of Federal Executive Departments and Agencies but provides important information for NASACT members.

Additionally, OMB's March Grants Innovation Exchange Session (Thursday March 26, 2020 at 12:00 pm ET) will feature updates from the OMB Grants Team on recent OMB memo M-20-17 providing administrative relief regarding the Corona Virus crisis and an update on The GREAT Act.  Details on registration will be provided as soon as they become available.
