Allowability

Review cost principles per the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance). Utilizing case studies, differentiate between allowable and unallowable costs and identify instances of noncompliance. Discuss when sponsor guidelines may be more or less restrictive and when an unlike circumstance may be justified.
