Federal Contracting & Reporting Update: Where are we now with Certifications, Uniform Guidance, and IRS Form 990?
Thursday, October 29 | 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM | Webinar

Presented by: Morgen Cheshire, Founder and Managing Attorney, and Beth Dougherty, Attorney & Director of Legal Education Initiatives, Cheshire Law Group

Offered in Partnership with: Cheshire Law Group and PAnonprofitlaw.com

REGISTRATION DEADLINE: Wednesday, October 28, 3:00 PM

Things have changed mightily for nonprofit organizations in the world of federal grantmaking and IRS reporting. While some changes may be more established in the present compared to when they were first issued – or at least less murky in their enforcement – there is still uncertainty among nonprofits regarding:

• changes to the federal certification requirements for federal grants and contracts;
• amendments to the Uniform Guidance governing federal agencies and their grant recipients; and
• proposed revisions to IRS Form 990 focused on federal grants and contracts and fiscal sponsor arrangements.  

To keep you up to date on the current status of these changes, PANO is partnering with Cheshire Law Group, a law firm exclusively representing nonprofit organizations. This session will provide an update on:

• current oversight and enforcement of federal contract certifications
• implementation of changes to the Uniform Guidance and the effects on federal grantees
• the specifics on proposed revisions to the IRS Form 990

Come with questions, leave with guidance for assessing and mitigating your nonprofit’s risk in the current federal grantmaking and reporting landscape.

*PLEASE NOTE:

• This is an informational session, and no legal advice will be given to attendees. Attendees seeking legal advice should engage legal counsel. Attendees’ attendance does not establish an attorney-client relationship with the presenters or their law firm, even if attendees ask questions and receive responses from the presenters.
• This session will be recorded. A link to the recording will be shared with all registrants and may also be shared with others who inquire about this content after the live session has ended. Attendees will be able to ask questions anonymously during the webinar via Zoom’s Q&A feature. Any questions shared with PANO staff and the presenters, either in advance during the registration process or during the live webinar, will be kept confidential.
