As the research world becomes more collaborative and complex, the issue of subreceipient monitoring is one that your institution needs to be fully aware of. A plan for maintaining compliance is paramount to your institution’s research enterprise. This session will provide an in-depth discussion, starting with the OMB Circular A-133 compliance supplement, risk assessments and how they’re used, and the different models used for monitoring (e.g., all done centrally in one office, shared responsibility between central and departmental offices). Issues such as monitoring large for-profit organizations, start-up companies, and foreign subagreements will be addressed.
Learning Objectives:
- Participants will gain an overview of the subrecipient monitoring section of OMB Circular A-133’s compliance supplement, including what is “required” versus what is “nice to have” in a monitoring process;
- Participants will gain an understanding of both the central and departmental roles in subrecipient monitoring;
- Participants will have different subrecipient monitoring programs described and a discussion of risk assessment will be included.
