New
Tool to Provide Feedback on the Uniform Guidance
Dear Colleagues,
The
Council on Financial Assistance Reform (COFAR) recently posted a new tool on
their webpage for non-Federal stakeholders. This new tool, provided so that you
can offer the COFAR feedback, is available until March 17.
Recall that the federal government’s overarching goal of the new
Uniform Guidance is to reduce burden on grantees and to establish more
effective protection against fraud, waste, and abuse. Therefore,
the COFAR is asking stakeholders to offer feedback specifically addressing that
goal, as well as on the opportunities to have participated in the development
of the guidance.
The
COFAR
will review the responses to help evaluate the extent to which the
Uniform Guidance achieves the COFAR’s goals, and to identify opportunities to
improve.
This tool (and other information about the Uniform
Guidance) is available on the COFAR
site in the section titled “Measuring the Impact of the Uniform
Guidance."
If you would like to suggest a topic to be
addressed in a future grants and financial management bulletin, please also
send your suggestions to Brad Lewis, at blewis@cns.gov.
In Service,
Corporation
for National and Community Service Grant Offices Washington,
DC and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
