Here’s a piece of advice that should govern all the relationships that arise when you’re managing a federal grant or subgrant: “Find out who you’re dealing with!”
The task of checking out organizations and people that may become involved with your federal grant programs involves dealing with a patchwork of requirements and sensible best practices. Some requirements apply across the board, while others only affect a single function or federal program. The requirements may touch subrecipients, contractors, employees, program beneficiaries, volunteers or all of the above.
Because some of the policies address whether an organization or a person is even eligible to participate in the particular federally funded program, independent auditors and awarding agency monitors are told to look closely at whether those requirements are being met. In short, in some federal programs, vetting is a frontline compliance and control function.
This webinar will identify, analyze and evaluate a full range of federal vetting policies and sensible practices and where to apply them as part of your management system. You’ll hear about:
- Uniform Entity Identifier (UEI) number — Who needs one?
- Criminal background checks — Which programs require such checks … and when?
- What kind of recipient reporting is triggered by vetting?
- What does it make sense to check and how?
- Corporate registration
- Charitable organization status
- Tax compliance
- Tax-exempt status
- Withholding
- Tax payments
- Licensure
- Credit worthiness
- Insurance coverage
- Past federal award performance
- Single audit compliance
