Whether the direct federal grant is initially awarded to a state or local government, a college or university, or a non-profit organization, it is common for there to be a significant network of “lower tier” organizations or “partners” that are involved with implementation of the funded activities. But, in many cases, that’s where the certainty ends. That’s because precision in the way those relationships are handled is often lacking. And the federal government’s own regulations and policies on subgranting and contracting can often be confusing. But, then, why should anyone care? In a nutshell, because determining whether a lower tier organization is a subrecipient or a vendor triggers significantly different responsibilities for those that are awarding funds and those that are receiving them. And, over the last several years, arguments on the subject have often resembled a contact sport with program staff, financial and grant managers, and independent auditors all joining the fray. <br> <br>This audio conference will help you clear up the confusion. By analyzing and evaluating key provisions of Office of Management and Budget Circulars on administrative requirements, cost allowability, and audit and other important guidance, speaker Bob Lloyd will identify the characteristics and award features that will effectively define whether a financial relationship involves a subrecipient or a vendor and the administrative and oversight consequences of that decision. <br></span><b><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#CC0000'><br></span></b><strong><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:#555555'>Major
