font-family:Arial'>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.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
