Policies and Procedures Boot Camp
Is your organization compliant with the latest policies and
procedures as outlined in the uniform guidance? Do your policies and procedures
minimize risk and enhance your chances of success?Policies, procedures, and processes are the lifeline that determine the probability of organizational compliance for grant managers. Grant professionals know that policies and procedures directly impact your ability to effectively manage grant projects. More often, grant professionals struggle with the challenges of implementing procedures that make sense to the end user so that they aren’t avoided, sidestepped or dismissed.
In this Policies and Procedures Boot Camp from Thompson Grants, you will learn about:
- Strength and weaknesses of your entity’s policies and procedures and whether they contribute to grant progress or hinder outcomes.
- Absolute “must-have” policies required under the uniform guidance
- Policies and procedures as they relate to the grant lifecycle
- How processes and procedures can be enhanced to make them meaningful to the end-user
- How internal politics often present roadblocks to implementing new procedures and how to effectively proceed with change
- Consequences of poor and weak internal controls and how they contribute to waste, fraud, and abuse of federal funds.
- Case studies to determine the effectiveness of policies and procedures
