CANCELLED - Introduction to US Dept of State & USAID Rules - £250+VAT

- THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED -

USAID funding has a reputation for its complex rules and regulations but since 2015 all US Federal funding has been aligned under the same rules, meaning very similar requirements are now in place for grants from the US Department of State.

During this session, we will take you through the basic systems and rules for both US Department of State and USAID funding which you will need to be familiar with to be able to manage your awards successfully. We will also cover frequent problems encountered by grant recipients and give you key tips on how to prepare for an audit to avoid common audit findings and disallowed costs.
