Description: The world of university research has been inundated with change during 2025. Audits are one of the few constants amidst the turbulence we have experienced. The federal government and other sponsors continue to conduct incurred cost and compliance engagements, and the Single (Uniform Guidance) Audit is still an annual task for most institutions. This webinar will focus on recent audits to help institutions know what to expect from such activities.

Description: Cost Principles, the principLE and not the principAL. What are they and how can
they help the principAL know if a cost is allowable on a grant or not? Cost principles are the
basis of determining how costs are allowable on a grant. This session will explain what the
principles are and how they are applicable to every cost on a grant. Participants will learn the
federal definitions and where the cost principles come from. Participants will also learn what to
do when a cost is 'it depends' or falls into a gray area.
