During the COVID-19 pandemic, almost all governments had the opportunity to receive federal funding, some as direct recipients, some as subrecipients. While this funding has provided new opportunities that will bring significant benefits to the organization or community, the guidance and compliance requirements for audit and for reporting to the federal agency have added a level of complexity to financial reporting for many local governments for the first time. This session will provide an overview of major first-time and first of its kind federal grant programs such as the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). It will also identify ongoing grants with reporting requirements and explore the accounting, audit, procurement, and reporting requirements to which recipients must adhere.
