Hundreds of billions of federal dollars are involved in recipients “subawarding” federal funds to other organizations. So, it is not surprising that the Office of Management and Budget, in its “uniform guidance,” seeks to provide clear instructions about whether a “lower tier” organization is to be treated as a subrecipient receiving federal assistance or a contractor being paid for goods and services with federal funds.

Making the corrective determination has very significant management, accountability and oversight implications.

However, when you look at the agreements that document these longstanding arrangements through the prism of the revised federal guidance, the exercise can be daunting and uncertain. This webinar is designed to help you sort out these relationships and to make decisions that are defensible, accountable and acceptable to the players. You’ll gain an understanding about:

  • Distinctions between “assistance” and “procurement” relationships, and why that’s important
  • How the attributes of relationships cited in the federal rules can be just the start
  • The important role that determining eligibility of program beneficiaries plays
  • What the federal rules mean by “responsibility for programmatic decisionmaking”
  • Whether the types of organizations involved has any bearing on the proper determination
  • Which federal laws and executive orders flow to subrecipients, and which ones don’t
  • Which federal laws and executive orders apply to contractors — and which ones don’t
  • How to engage in an informed dialogue with other stakeholders about determination decisions
  • Oversight implications once the decision is made
