Conquering the Single Audit — Best Practices for Making Your Organization "Audit-Proof"

Date: Tuesday, April 11
Time: 4:00-5:30 PM

When you work with your auditor, do you understand what criteria they’re actually reviewing against? What are auditors looking for during a Single Audit? What are best practices for audit preparation?
This session provides best practices and advice from federal compliance experts, including a real-life auditor, to help grantees prepare for the Single Audit and maximize their chances for a clean audit report. Presented by Sarah Hluchan, Product Management Director, Grants & Assistance at Management Concepts, and Slaiman “Sly” Atayee, Senior Manager, Federal Compliance and Investigations, and Joseph O’Meara, Senior Audit Manager at BDO USA.

Webinar: “Single Audit 101 for Grants Managers: - Understanding Audit Terms and How Findings Impact Your Grant Management”


[Recorded June 29, 2022] 1.8 CPEs in Auditing

Join NGMA and Management Concepts for a reprisal of our AGT session as Sarah Hluchan, Product Management Director, Grants, and Tom Devine, Product Management Director, Financial Management, present “Single Audit 101 for Grants Managers - Understanding Audit Terms and How Findings Impact Your Grant Management.” When you review your grantees’ single audit during pre-award risk assessment--do you know what you’re looking for? What does ‘unmodified’ opinion mean? Do you need to be concerned about that material weakness? What about those questioned costs? This session decodes the language of the single audit, providing participants with a new understanding of what findings means and where potential risks lie.
