New Rules of the Road:
The 2020 Uniform Guidance Revisions

The Uniform Guidance, 2 C.F.R. Part 200, has been substantially revised for the first time since it was issued, and the final revisions will take effect on November 12, 2020. Though most of the revisions will not apply to federal awards issued before November 12, CAAs should begin to plan now for their inclusion in forthcoming awards. In this two-part webinar series, CAPLAW will analyze the major changes, explain how they are likely to affect CAAs, and identify key considerations for implementation. Part 1 of the series will discuss changes and clarifications relating to the recovery of indirect costs, including use of the de minimis rate and direct cost allocation. Part 2 will address other notable changes, including procurement, the role of non-binding guidance, and grant termination.
