Title I Compliance:
Strategies to Boost Internal Controls and Minimize Audit Risk
Presented by Melissa Junge, Esq. and Sheara Krvaric, Esq.

The federal government is increasingly focused on state and local grant recipients maintaining robust internal controls so that federal funds are appropriately spent, tracked and managed. In this 90-minute interactive audio conference, you’ll learn how to detect weaknesses within your grants management system and develop effective strategies to address them — strategies that can help SEAs and LEAs to improve Title I and other federal education program performance, correct non-compliance, and avoid findings during future audits and monitoring reviews.

Join veteran education attorneys Melissa Junge and Sheara Krvaric for guidance to help you minimize your exposure to audit risk. You and your staff will learn:

        •    Core principles for effective grants management

        •    Internal control standards

        •    How to identify weaknesses in your systems

        •    How to design a corrective action plan to remedy identified weaknesses

        •    How to effectively implement the corrective action plan

Plus time is allotted so you can ask the presenters your specific questions.
