Grant Connections - April 2016

11:00 a.m. – noon
Room 572 of the Bond Life Sciences Center

Agenda
  • Hot Topics 
  • FY15 A-133 Single Audit Report and Audit Panel Discussion. KPMG issued the University’s fiscal year 2015 Single Audit Report on March 31, 2016. OSPA will provide an overview of and context for the report. Then, a panel of OSPA staff and Departmental Research Administrators will discuss what typically happens during an audit and how research administrators can contribute to successful audits.   
  • Gifts vs. Grants. The distinction between gifts and sponsored projects can be subtle, but it is important to know the difference and to treat each consistently. MU Advancement and OSPA will discuss determining factors and introduce a new tool designed to help the process of applying gifts and grants to campus activities.
