Managing Federal Awards Compliance Handbook

In this handbook we cover the essentials of the federal regulations for managing, spending and auditing federal awards. This authoritative set of requirements, found in Part 200 of Title 2 of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, is called the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards – or more commonly, the “Uniform Guidance.”

This handbook summarizes the most critical Uniform Guidance elements – in an easier-to-digest format – that people need to know if they manage federal awards. Users of this handbook can get an overview of the most important and common compliance requirements and learn where to keep reading about the areas most applicable to them. In this way, users can better understand the Uniform Guidance, which will help them design effective internal controls to meet these requirements and better manage their federal awards.
