Whether your organization is being funded directly by the Federal government, or is receiving funds through a "pass-through" entity, it must have all the adequate business systems, or internal controls, in effect. In fact, there are four (4) instances when a policies and procedures requirement emerges: - In the grant application process at the Federal level, an organization certifies that the requisite, business, policies, or internal controls are in place. - Most Federal agencies have added "internal controls (i.e., business policies and procedures)" to the site-visit checklist. - A portion of the Single Audit Act (implemented by the Office of Management and Buget (OMB) Circular A-133) requires the independent auditor to attest to the presence of the internal controls that are presented in the OMB Administrative Circulars (A-102 and A-110) as well as the cost principles (A-21, A-87, and A-122). - Many cognizant agencies are now requiring a copy of the policies and procedures manual be submitted with the initial indirect cost rate application. Even if your organization is currently below the Single Audit threshold, the monitoring "pass-through" must insure compliance. In addition to the government requirements, it is simply a good business practice to have written procedures in place, especially travel and personnel policies. The practical internal business policies and procedures presented by Edmiston Enterprises, Inc. will insure that your organization has the requisite financial management, personnel, property, procurement, travel, and subgrant policies in place and operational. The "how-to-do-it" information contains not only all the procedures, but also all the forms and formats. So that all the requirements are precisely presented, there are special instructions for the different types of the organizations in the financial management section. A CD is included with each easy to read manual so that all the systems may be modified to meet the actual requirements of the organization. TOPICS Standards for Financial Management |
