The newly revised 2025 OMB Compliance Supplement (2 C.F.R. Part 200, Appendix XI ) introduces important updates pertaining to auditor testing of compliance under federal awards, particularly denoting testing requirements based on which version of the OMB uniform guidance (2 C.F.R. Part 200) — the 2024 revisions or the previous version — applies to a recipient’s federal awards. This webinar offers a clear, step-by-step walkthrough of the changes within the 2025 supplement, and explains how auditor testing of compliance will affect organizations that manage federal awards. Participants will learn about the latest updates in the 2025 supplement, how to assess their current policies and procedures, pinpoint compliance gaps and adapt their internal processes to align with the latest federal guidance.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Identify important changes in the 2025 Compliance Supplement and assess how they may impact their internal controls, procurement policies and other internal procedures to properly manage their awards.
- Detect gaps or inconsistencies and prioritize corrective actions to reduce audit and monitoring risk.
- Implement practical process improvements and documentation strategies that support ongoing compliance and readiness for audits and site visits.
