"The examples were great and the way the materials were written were very well organized and very understandable." |
Let Sefton and Bill, auditors with over 70 combined years of federal, state, and municipal audit experience guide you through the dos and don’ts of spending federal grant dollars. Truth is stranger than fiction when it comes to the creative way that grantees use their resources. Auditors of federal programs use the cost principles as criteria to evaluate compliance with contract provisions. The cost principles apply to almost all federal grant programs and contain specific prohibitions against entertainment and some legal fees. The cost principles also advise grantees on how to document payroll expenditures.
